Avances en casos jurídicos acompañados
En México, y en muchos otros países, el acompañamiento a casos jurídicos son procesos complejos que en la mayoría de las ocasiones conllevan un largo tiempo para llegar a una resolución. Un ejemplo de esto ha sido el caso que ya hemos mencionado en otros informes sobre el acompañamiento a una mujer adulta mayor con graves problemas pulmonares quien, junto con su hija y su nieto, desde el 2021 está en riesgo de desalojo ya que su hija perdió su trabajo en el contexto de la pandemia por COVID-19 y no ha vuelto a recuperarlo. En el 2022 se logró que el Poder Judicial Federal emitiera una importante sentencia exhortando a las autoridades de la Ciudad de México (CDMX) a generar una política para prevenir y mitigar los efectos sociales y económicos de la pandemia en personas inquilinas de la CDMX, sin embargo, las autoridades no cumplieron con ella. Es así que al día de hoy continuamos acompañando este caso.
En julio de este año presentamos un nuevo procedimiento de amparo al Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la CDMX en donde se presentan diversos argumentos para demostrar que la última sentencia no se ha elaborado desde una perspectiva de derechos humanos. Además, en el amparo se reitera la injusticia de la sanción económica que se le impone a nuestra defendida por no haber pagado el alquiler después de la pérdida del trabajo, por no considerar los elementos de vulnerabilidad y la actual situación económica de la familia. Si bien el juicio ha tenido siempre el objetivo de lograr que el estado se haga cargo del derecho a la vivienda de las personas vulnerables desalojadas, ofreciendo alternativas, aún nos enfrentamos a diversos obstáculos para avanzar en este objetivo. Aún así, en paralelo con esta defensa, estamos también siguiendo en nuestra labor de incidencia para lograr reformas a favor de la población inquilina.

Developments in legal cases we support
In Mexico, and in many other countries, litigation and legal representation are complex processes that in most cases take a long time to reach a resolution. An example of this has been the case we have already mentioned in previous reports on the assistance to an elderly woman with severe respiratory problems who, together with her daughter and grandson, has been at risk of eviction since 2021 because her daughter lost her job in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and has not been able to work since. In 2022, we achieved that the Federal Judiciary issued an important ruling urging the authorities of Mexico City to develop a policy to prevent and mitigate the social and economic effects of the pandemic on tenants in Mexico City, but the authorities did not comply with it. Thus, today we continue to work in this case.
This past July, we filed a new amparo proceeding with the Superior Court of Justice of Mexico City, in which we presented several arguments to demonstrate that the last ruling did not consider a human rights perspective. Furthermore, the amparo states that the economic sanction imposed on our defendant for not having paid the rent after losing her job is not reasonable, since it does not take into account the vulnerability factors and the current economic situation of the family. Even though the goal of the lawsuit has always been to get the state to guarantee the right to housing for evicted vulnerable people by offering alternatives, we are still facing several obstacles in order to achieve it. However, in addition to this legal defense, we are also continuing our advocacy work in order to push for reforms in favor of the tenant population in the country.
