PAOT Halts Ticketed ‘Alice’ Show at Parque Lira as Permit Dispute and Protests Escalate

The environmental watchdog says the producer failed to show permits from SPOTMET, SEDEMA, INAH, leaving the halt in place.

Overview

  • City environmental prosecutors placed suspension seals at Parque Lira, stopping setup for the multi‑month immersive show after five citizen complaints about potential harm to green areas and heritage.
  • PAOT reports that organizer Beste Templen did not present required authorizations, including SPOTMET heritage clearance, SEDEMA’s compliance declaration, and INAH approval, with the precautionary measure remaining active under file PAOT-2026-722-SOT-205.
  • Morena legislators staged a symbolic closure and now seek a definitive shutdown, pointing to pending verifications by Invea, SEDEMA, and INAH due to historic monuments inside the park.
  • Neighbors report that lights, sound, and on‑site ticket sales continued despite the suspension, fueling calls for stricter enforcement.
  • Mayor Mauricio Tabe and the Miguel Hidalgo government assert the event met local requirements and caused no damage, while legislators open a fiscal review of the concession’s finances, alleging disproportionate private gains and potential political use.
