The Arms Exchange program arrives in Tlalpan to promote peace and prevent violence / @TlalpanAl >>>
#Tlalpan, #CDMX.- As part of the «Yes to Disarmament, Yes to Peace» program, a weapons exchange center was set up in the parish of San Miguel Topilejo, an initiative promoted by the Mexico City government in coordination with the federal government to encourage voluntary disarmament.
The initiative will run from May 19 to 30 and is coordinated by the Mexico City Government Secretariat, in collaboration with the Secretariat of Citizen Security, the Secretariat of National Defense (Defense), the Citizen Council for Security and Justice, the Mexico City DIF System, church authorities, and residents of the town.
The mayor of Tlalpan, Gaby Osorio, led the event and emphasized that these types of actions are part of a comprehensive policy that seeks to rebuild the social fabric from the ground up. She asserted that peace is not built overnight, but rather through perseverance and coordination among the three levels of government, as is currently the case in Topilejo, where the first Utopia of Tlalpan is being built, a space with sports, educational, and cultural facilities aimed at fostering community coexistence and harmony.
During the installation of the module, the mayor took the opportunity to acknowledge the willingness of the Mexico City government, led by Clara Brugada, to promote these prevention policies that prioritize the lives and safety of communities.
During her speech, Osorio called for not normalizing violence, either at parties or in the home. She emphasized that Topilejo is one of the towns with the highest rates of violence against women, a problem that worsens in contexts where alcohol is consumed. «We don’t want bullets in the air, we don’t want guns in the home, we want peace and community,» she said.
Mayor Gaby Osorio shared that an educational project focused on young people in mountain villages is being worked on and that it has received direct support from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. She noted that the president has shown particular interest in this proposal and announced that she will hold meetings with federal authorities on education matters in the coming weeks.
