Mexico City Stage Collapse Sparks Safety Overhaul and Park Changes

Mexico City Stage Collapse Prompts Sheinbaum's Safety Crackdown and Bicentenario Park Changes. A recent stage collapse in the Gustavo A. Madero borough of Mexico City has led Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum to implement stricter safety regulations for public events. Sheinbaum stated, "It is important that any activity has all the fundamental elements of civil protection to avoid any accident." In addition to the new safety measures, Sheinbaum announced the withdrawal of the Bicentenario Park concession, transferring its operation to the Ministry of Culture. This decision comes as part of a broader effort to ensure the park's proper functioning and public accessibility. The event and subsequent actions by the mayor highlight ongoing concerns about safety and management of public spaces in the city.
