The chief of police in Mejorada del Campo issued a directive to the only patrol in the municipality to monitor the entrance of a building that was occupied by squatters, specifically a property belonging to the mother-in-law of the town's mayor, Jorge Capa. Union sources from the UPM revealed that this order was a direct instruction from the Mayor's office, underscoring the potential political implications of the situation. The patrol was tasked with preventing any suspicious individuals from entering the premises after it was reported that the squatter had been attempting to sell the occupied unit to a criminal clan.

The situation escalated as the squatter had sought to transfer the property to a crime group, prompting significant concern for the local authorities. The mother-in-law of the mayor had engaged the services of the company Desokupa Demolition to evict the squatters under an economic agreement, which indicates a proactive approach from the mayor's family regarding the unlawful occupation of their property. As a result, the police patrol was assigned to stay outside the building on Travesía del Jubilado to ensure that any suspicious activity was monitored closely.

This incident reveals the complex intersections of local governance, law enforcement, and real estate issues, especially where political figures are involved. The fact that the police were directed to focus their resources on this particular case raises questions about prioritization of policing in municipal matters and the potential for perceived partiality in handling legal disputes involving elected officials and their families.
