Parque Lira Blockade Passes 32 Hours as Mexico City Mayor Rejects Paid Event in Public Park

Clara Brugada says she will speak with Mayor Mauricio Tabe to keep the space accessible to residents.

Overview

  • Traffic remains closed at Parque Lira and Gobernador Agustín Vicente Eguía, with OVIAL confirming an ongoing shutdown in both directions.
  • Fundación Perra Brava calls the action permanent until Mayor Mauricio Tabe appears in person or the plan is halted.
  • Neighbors report roughly 90% of the park was fenced for the 'Alice in Wonderland' immersive show as installations advanced while permits were still being processed and tickets were on sale.
  • The Miguel Hidalgo government says the project is a 4.1 million‑peso private rehabilitation, promises free entry for nearby residents, and maintains that public access would continue in much of the park.
  • Activists denounce environmental damage, citing earlier tree cutting and harm to local fauna, and demand cancellation or immediate talks with city officials.
