Mayor Alessandra Rojo de la Vega announced the decision to allow signs in the businesses of the Cuauhtémoc borough once again, aiming to celebrate folk art and reconnect with urban cultural identity. This measure comes after the controversy generated by the previous administration, led by Sandra Cuevas, which had decreed the removal of signs to "improve the image" and "establish order and discipline."
Rojo de la Vega publicly expressed her apologies for the decisions made previously and committed to promoting an administration that values the creativity of the people and recovers the identity of the neighborhoods. In contrast, Cuevas received criticism for her opinions on the signs, being labeled "classist" for not considering them art and for stating that vendors supported their removal in order to place official logos.
The current mayor indicated that art should not be prohibited, but lived and shared. As a result of this new stance, it is expected that in the coming days businesses will begin to place their signs again in the Cuauhtémoc borough. Despite Cuevas's silence on this measure, the reappearance of signs in the streets begins on Thursday, October 24.
Since the June elections, some establishments have already begun to install signs without being sanctioned, suggesting a change in municipal policy regarding this issue. This decision is seen as a triumph for art and urban cultural identity in the borough, allowing color and life to return to the streets of Cuauhtémoc after years of restrictions.
