Overview

• The order forbids performing or playing songs that glorify violence or promote a culture of crime at plazas, auditoriums, stadiums, fairs and any public-access venue.
• Governor Mauricio Kuri said the measure targets no specific genre and framed it as protecting families and values, urging mayors to extend the restriction to private entertainment establishments.
• Municipal governments began drafting implementing rules, with El Marqués backing the decree and the capital signaling commission votes this week to restrict shows that promote violence.
• Authorities said events will be suspended and cases referred to the Fiscalía when artists perform corridos tumbados, narcocorridos or similar variants, though sanctions and classification criteria have not been specified.
• The state human-rights ombudsman will review the decree against constitutional standards and Supreme Court jurisprudence.
