Cuauhtémoc Mayor Alessandra Rojo de la Vega provided humanitarian aid to approximately 50 mothers of disappeared persons protesting outside the General Prosecutor’s Office (FGR) in Mexico City. The assistance included the deployment of medical and psychological professionals and the installation of mobile toilets following reports that protesters struggled to access sanitary facilities. Rojo de la Vega stated the intervention was not a political matter and called on federal authorities to engage with the women and address their demands.

Following a meeting with these family members, who reported difficulties navigating institutional obstacles, the Mayor announced a formal action plan to support families searching for missing persons. This initiative includes the establishment of an Attention and Accompaniment Unit under the General Directorate of Social Development. The new unit is designed to provide legal counsel, psychological support, and social guidance. Furthermore, the local government plans to provide dedicated spaces for families and facilitate lodging for those traveling to the city to conduct searches.

However, a legislative attempt to formalize support through the Mexico City Congress was rejected. Tania Larios, coordinator of the PRI Parliamentary Group, presented a Point of Agreement to establish an inter-institutional committee to address the families' demands and follow up on their cases. While the proposal received support from the PAN and Movimiento Ciudadano parties, it failed to pass due to votes against it by Morena and the Partido del Trabajo (PT). Proponents argued the rejection fails to provide an institutional route to address the ongoing disappearance crisis, which national figures indicate involves over 132,000 missing or unlocated people.
