  • The Miguel Hidalgo mayor's office in Mexico City inaugurated a "Night Government" bunker to manage risks during the World Cup.
  • The center will operate 24/7, coordinating civil protection, security, and urban services to ensure order and immediate response to emergencies.
  • It will also serve as a safe space for women victims of gender violence and address issues like fallen trees during the rainy season.

The mayor of Miguel Hidalgo, Mauricio Tabe, inaugurated the "Night Government MH" bunker, a command center designed to manage emergencies and risks during the 40-day World Cup period. Operating from Casa Mandela in Parque Lincoln, the center aims to provide 24-hour oversight of the tourist areas within the district, ensuring immediate responses to incidents in fan gathering spots.

Tabe emphasized that the operation would not be improvised, stating, "While the world has its eyes on our City, we are already working so that each night of the World Cup is experienced with order and security." The bunker will coordinate various city departments, including Civil Protection, Blindar Miguel Hidalgo security program, Government and Legal Affairs, Urban Services, Social Development, and Environment.

While the world has its eyes on our City, we are already working so that each night of the World Cup is experienced with order and security.

— Mauricio TabeMayor of Miguel Hidalgo, emphasizing the proactive security measures for the World Cup.

The "Night Government MH" command will conduct patrols, supervise commercial establishments, and follow up on neighborhood reports to maintain order in tourist zones. "Our attention will be focused where people gather, because our priority is to guarantee the safety of all our neighbors and all visitors who set foot in Miguel Hidalgo," Tabe added, noting the permanent presence of medical services and immediate response capabilities.

In addition to security, the bunker will function as a "Punto Violeta" (Purple Point) to provide immediate support to women experiencing gender-based violence. Environmental and Urban Services departments will also handle reports of fallen trees and other issues related to the rainy season. Mayor Tabe urged commercial establishment owners to adhere to regulations to ensure a peaceful and orderly environment during the World Cup festivities.

Our attention will be focused where people gather, because our priority is to guarantee the safety of all our neighbors and all visitors who set foot in Miguel Hidalgo.
