Once again it was proven that the rush won the City Government to inaugurate the works that were scheduled before June 11, when the Soccer World Cup starts. In the case of the now called Floating Garden, which was previously called Elevated Park and, before that, Floating Causeway, it was not 100% complete. There are no ramps for pedestrians to reach the Chabacano Metro station, just as they ended it by forced marches in San Antonio Abad. Not all the pedestrian bridges or elevators were ready. Will that be the tone of the Ministry of Works, in charge of Raul Basultonot only for the remaining World Cup works, but for megaprojects such as the Cablebús lines? Will the custom of inaugurating incomplete works continue?
We are three days away from the World Cup and the groups and organizations have already announced that they plan to hold demonstrations in the vicinity of the Mexico City Stadium and even, if possible, reach the entrance of the building, on Wednesday, June 11, when the World Cup tournament begins. They tell us that this looks complicated because the Last Mile operation will be deployed where only people with a ticket or accredited will be able to enter. However, the surrounding area is where the attention will be, above all, for the Secretariat of Citizen Security, whose owner is Pablo Vazquezto guarantee freedom of demonstration, but that there are no conflicts.
They tell us that although the security filters have no longer been so strict so that visitors and merchants can cross the metal fences placed around the capital’s Zócalo to prevent the teachers of the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE) from reaching the iron, the annoyance of the merchants persists and they announce that they will take to the streets today to ask that the fences be removed three days before the Soccer World Cup because their sales have dropped. The Secretary of Government, Cesar Craviotoindicated that they have taken measures, but, apparently, they are not enough.
