Head of Government Clara Brugada stated that excellent coordination and common objectives are needed for the World Cup to take place under the best conditions, highlighting that it will help the city consolidate itself as a world-class city. During her speech, Brugada strongly emphasized security, one of the main demands of the local population and a major concern for the national and international community, especially following the murder of Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader "El Mencho." "We want a World Cup that is experienced from the ground up, from the streets, with a city in the lead, with fair play, a just society, without racism or xenophobia," she declared during the event at the Mexico City Museum. "We are receiving the World Cup at one of the best moments in terms of security," she assured, reiterating that the decrease in high-impact crimes continues month after month. Brugada also detailed that the central government is already working with the 16 boroughs to prepare for the rainy season, as the World Cup will take place during the height of the rainy period. In this context, tasks to clear drainage points in historically problematic areas are already being intensified, especially after the records set last year. Other topics addressed by the Head of Government included the regulation of street vending, the care of public space, and the defense of human rights. Considering that the LGBTQ+ Pride March will take place during the event, she announced that a series of measures in this area will be announced in the coming days. "We want a World Cup with full rights, without discrimination and without racism," she added.
