Overview
- Cuauhtémoc Blanco, photographed at the stadium’s reinauguration on Saturday, arrived in a Cadillac Escalade without license plates and used a preferred entry to parking.
- Mexico City police chief Pablo Vázquez said the missing plates will bring a penalty regardless of the person’s public profile.
- Officials said Blanco had permission to enter the stadium’s “last mile” zone, a perimeter that lets accredited vehicles reach private boxes.
- The Mobility Secretariat and the local government reported opening an administrative case that could result in a fine of roughly 800 to 1,200 pesos and possible impoundment.
- The incident drew criticism over perceived privilege and Morena’s austerity message, and it could trigger stricter checks on high-end vehicles that travel without plates at major events.
