Mexico City /
The bicycle is becoming one of the transport systems most loved by the citizens of the capital, since it is not only one of the most ecological, but in this new normality due to the coronavirus, it reduces infections, and proof of them was the withdrawal of 140 tricycles made by the Mayor Miguel Hidalgo in Polanco, since it caused the rejection in social networks.
Hegel Cortés Miranda, general director of Government and Legal Affairs of the Miguel Hidalgo mayor’s office, shared an image where the tricycles that were removed from public roads are collapsed in Polanco and Granada, to destroy them.
But this message did not please Twitter users, as they immediately accused the mayor of remove the working environment of many peopleSince the image shows that many of them have trays, coffee thermos and bread baskets, very common in city streets.
Some considered that even if they were violating some rule of the Civic Law of the capital, they should be returned to their owners.
The sale by bike or tricycle is not prohibited in the regulations or by law. Those tricycles should not have been confiscated, they should be returned to their owners.

What is this? Under what conditions were 140 people withdrawn their work material and sustenance? The state cannot dispose of private property and I do not think they have let it go right away, where are the owners of these bikes?

Some users considered that instead of destroying, as the representative of the mayor Miguel Hidalgo considered, they should give it another use, such as donation for medical personnel, project headed by the organization Bicitekas.
Others more accused that this retreat has an objective of “cleaning” of itinerant commerce an area that is considered exclusive.
That the permanent jobs are not in Polanco and it is in the end that they care that Polanco looks pretty so that people with money do not complain to the poor man who dies of hunger.

And do you still “show it off”? When are you going to destroy all the real obstacles on the public highway in #Polanco and #Granades?

What urgent problems are solved in the CDMX? Delinquency? Violations? Lack of employment? Lack of water in several colonies? Mmmm no, I think you have to lift 140 street tricycles in Polanco because they look ugly in those areas. PRIORITIES I call you

Apparently in Miguel Hidalgo there is only public and political space for Polanco.
Everything that is not a “good trade” is confiscated and those tricycles are the proof of this.
The same happens in the Cuauhtémoc with the Roma and the Countess; in Benito Juárez with Del Valle.

What do you want to do a ROLL OF pure TRICYCLES in the Polanco and Granadas colonies.
Close the street and have our street kermes; appropriate the street.
Give a lesson to the neighbors and racist authorities of the MH

What the bourgeoisie of Polanco do not want and cannot recognize is that it is the precarious work of the floating population that sustains their colony, who every day eat breakfast and eat through that informal economy that today they want to disappear.

Due to the number of responses that the tweet obtained, Cortés Miranda clarified that “the destination of the belongings will be determined, according to an administrative procedure,” he also highlighted that the administration is sensitive and respectful of the social and economic reality of citizens .
