Who is Arne Aus den Ruthen Haag?

Arne Sydney Aus den Ruthen Haag is a Mexican policitian. He was the mayor for Miguel Hidalgo, D.F. from 2000–2003 and deputy in the Federal District Legislature from 1997 to 2000. He is a member of the National Action Party.

A year after taking office Aus den Ruthen Haag expressed the need to clean Miguel Hidalgo of its street vendors [1] and he proceeded with a plan to relocate them to planned commercial plazas. The following year, unable to reach an agreement with the street vendors, he attempted to forcibly remove them from the streets with the help of 50 police officers [2]. The operation resulted in a violent confrontation and he accused Marcelo Ebrard, chief of police of the Federal District and current chief of government, of not providing enough resources to ensure the security of the operation [2]. Ebrard declared in a press conference that the operation had not been coordinated by the Public Security Secretariat and he thought it was a bad idea to confront street vendors in such manner [2].
