Cuauhtémoc Authorities Shut Down Clandestine Party With About 1,200 Minors in Mexico City

Prosecutors are preparing an inquiry into permits, with potential liability for organizers under review.

Overview

  • Local officials evacuated a makeshift venue in colonia Buenos Aires on Friday after finding roughly 1,200 underage attendees.
  • Personnel from the Civil Protection agency (SGIRPC), the city police (SSC) and the borough’s Government Directorate carried out the operation.
  • Authorities said the site operated without permits, lacked emergency exits and basic safety measures, and posed a severe risk, according to Mayor Alessandra Rojo de la Vega.
  • Emergency teams assisted adolescents affected by alcohol consumption and seized large quantities of beverages at the location.
  • Images from the scene showed alcohol stored in gasoline containers, and the Mexico City Attorney General’s Office is expected to review permits and determine responsibility.
