Cristo Rey, where the "My Safe Country" plan began, is plagued by crime
La República martes, 08 de febrero de 2022

Cristo Rey, a town located in the National District, was the first sector where the My Safe Country Plan began , hand in hand with the authorities of the Ministry of the Interior and Police .

The community of Cristo Rey is impacted by criminal acts that plague its residents. Municipalities report assaults with an armed hand in broad daylight, robberies in houses and gagging of owners, circulation of prohibited substances and sexual abuse.

Dr. Rafael Rodríguez, who led a press conference for the community members and the San Pablo Apostol parish, said that "a campaign has been launched against our father (priest of the church) for externalizing the evils of the residents."

He said that Father José Luis Hernández has suffered reprisals for confronting him and saying what is happening around the church and school in his jurisdiction.

Father Hernández said that there are people in the sector, who are benefited by different government institutions of which they are employees, who often summon the media to say that things in Cristo Rey are going well, when it is simply the opposite.

"Those who hold these meetings and summon the press are appointed and paid by the Ministry of the Interior and Police," added the priest Hernández.

The priest also denounced that criminals go to or send an emissary to the Department of Internal Affairs of the National Police for the few soldiers who carry out their work correctly , alleging that agents use "police force abuse."

Just at the moment that the press media of this media outlet of this newspaper were taking photos on a street, an antisocial person approached the team with the word verbal threats and making indecent signs.

Cristo Rey crime drops 50%.​

The government's "pat on the back" announcement was
posted less than one year ago.
Appears they are failing to fix any of the real issues which
plague this community and they just can't seem to figure
out why this area in particular has such a high crime rate.
SMH...

Despite the citizen security plan “Mi País Seguro” (My Safe Country) in the neighborhood of Cristo Rey, in the National District, crime plagues the residents of the crowded sector.

In the last few weeks, the residents of Cristo Rey have seen a resurgence of robberies. The situation worries those who pass through the sector in the morning and night.

Last weekend, a young man was the victim of a robbery at the hands of two criminals. At gunpoint, he was robbed of his belongings.

According to the young man’s version, who asked not to be identified, he said that he arrived home from work at 11:45 last Saturday night, when two criminals robbed him when he arrived at his house in Respaldo 43 of the crowded sector.

He said that on Sunday morning, he filed a complaint against one of the criminals known as “El Nieto de la Cacata” at the police station of the sector. However, they are still at large, even though they are repeat offenders committing their crimes in the community.

He explained that the criminals reside in the area known as El Bronx de Cristo Rey. They roam around the area armed, without any action by the police authorities.

Woman assaulted
Likewise, in the Ensanche Palaber of Cristo Rey, robberies are the order of the day, specifically on Interior 33 Street, parallel to the Olé Supermarket store, where residents say they are afraid to leave their homes.

Recently, a young woman was robbed of her wallet, taking her and her youngest son’s passports, for which she lost her trip to the United States.

The woman said that she had not yet received any information from the police authorities investigating her case. However, she fears that they may use her data.

Criminality
Last weekend, a corporal of the National Police was shot dead in an incident that took place in the Cristo Rey sector. For this incident, the law enforcement agency pointed the finger at “Chiripa” and “Cachiro,” presumed criminals in the area.

The deceased police officer was identified as Alejandro Figuereo Berroa, 36 years old, whose assailants robbed him of his service weapon.
