Mexico City's Historic Center Authority has launched an immediate cleanup and restoration campaign in public spaces recently vacated by the National Union of Education Workers (CNTE). The operation targets streets and plazas that were occupied during the teachers' protest, aiming to return them to their intended use.

Key actions include a deep cleaning of roadways, removal of accumulated waste, and inspection of urban infrastructure.

This area is a significant driver of the capital's economy, culture, and tourism.

By reclaiming these spaces, the initiative seeks to reactivate the local economy and preserve the cleanliness, safety, and overall urban image of the district. Brigades will progressively address other areas as they become available, ensuring the timely recovery of public spaces and the proper functioning of this crucial part of Mexico City. The efforts are also expected to contribute to the economic revitalization of businesses in the vicinity.

These efforts form part of an integral strategy to strengthen the recovery of the Historic Center, an area that receives thousands of workers, merchants, residents, and visitors daily, and represents one of the main economic, cultural, and tourist engines of the country's capital.
