Overview
- Morena deputy Elizabeth Mateos Hernández introduced an initiative in the Mexico City Congress to amend the Public Shows law for open-air mass events.
- The proposal would allow personal snacks and beverages in limited quantities if they are in individual portions and drinks are sealed, with glass and other risky items banned.
- The measure applies only to outdoor venues and would not cover enclosed sites or locations with civil-protection or heritage restrictions.
- Supporters cite venue prices such as 45 pesos for water and 90 for an electrolyte at Estadio GNP and note the daily minimum wage of about 315 pesos to underscore the burden.
- The initiative references 553 police operations at concerts and festivals in 2025 with attendance above 10 million and links hydration access to safety as Mexico City prepares for larger events.
