México recupera sus playas y derriba villas de extranjeros

In the midst of summer vacation, the government of President Claudia Sheinbaum launched an operation to demolish luxury villas illegally built in coastal areas. Teams from the National Guard began demolishing these structures, including private villas, condominiums, and luxury hotels, facing resistance from foreign owners who threatened to sue the Mexican government. For years, real estate mafias and foreign residents seized federal lands, blocking access with private security and violently expelling Mexican citizens from their own coastlines. After decades of protests and growing public discontent, the federal government invoked the land recovery law, deploying bulldozers and armed forces to demolish the clandestine luxury structures and restore free access to the national heritage.
