Moments of tension were lived this week between Mayor Claudia López and Secretary of Security, Hugo Acero.
Everything was recorded live in a transmission via Facebook, during a District visit to the old Bronx which, in the future, will be the Bronx Creative District.

“Another Bronx is forming. It cannot be that we are so incapable, that together with the Brigade and the Metropolitan, crime emporiums are formed”The mayor commented at the beginning of the broadcast, referring to the difficult security situation that is being seen again in this sector of Los Mártires, in the center of Bogotá.
At that time, an accountability could be seen coming from the management of security in the area, where four years ago the eviction of the Bronx, the largest pot in Bogotá, took place.

At one point, López summons Hugo Acero and members of the Army’s 13th Brigade. “In this area we should have at least 10 positions to tighten, if not, nothing happens. This area is very difficult, we must not loosen. It is too intermittent. If we are not more constant and more systematic, we will not achieve it”, Lopez stated.
Hugo Acero, who is a renowned analyst and security expert, said that after the operation in The Bronx, in May 2016, the vending and criminal organizations were expelled.
And while Acero tried to explain what he had been doing and insisted on speaking, the president continued to intervene and would not let him speak. “Our task is not to complain … but to press them,” repeated the mayor.
“We have been doing it, mayor. If you will let me speak …”, the Secretary replied. Then the dialogue got complicated. And the president did not believe what the official was trying to explain.
“It has not been intermittent, from Caracas, we have been working. From Caracas we have been intervening. We have been there with the (local) mayor. We have been there in Mártires “.
And while the mayor insisted again and again on “tightening” and on being “systematic”, Acero pointed out: “The first thing is to get the Army to stay and it has already stayed. I already spoke with General Ospina and it will stay until December of 20 22, and indeed he has already confirmed that he will stay here until 2022 “.
Everything was recorded around 11:40 in the live broadcast:
The official, in fact, cited the example of La Favorita: “We have been there all year and we have recovered it.”
“We are going to tighten, but the problem is transferred to the rest of us. What is here is what we have not left in La Favorita, you are aware of it,” Acero said at the insistence of the president.
And members of Brigade 13, in addition, explained to the president that this type of crime and the organizations are rotating.
Last July, the Secretary of Security reported that 22 criminal structures had been dismantled. Some of them had influence on Los Mártires.
