Electrical storm hits Monterrey with heavy rain warning

The Government of Mexico continues to send humanitarian aid to Venezuela after the earthquakes registered in that country. President Claudia Sheinbaum reported that 250 specialized elements have been deployed, along with 71.2 tons of food, medicines and power plants. In addition, the Secretary of the Navy is preparing a ship with more supplies.

Actions in Venezuelan territory

Sheinbaum explained that on July 2, 28 tons of supplies—non-perishable foods and medicines—were transported in response to the request of the Venezuelan government. This brings the total to 71.2 tons. On June 30, five power plants and 80 kilograms of Red Cross material were sent. The following Wednesday, another three plants with lighting systems.

“In total, eight plants with a lighting tower and solar panel have been transported, in addition to 80 kilograms of Red Cross material, in two logistics flights,” said the president.

The Mexican team continues its work in coordination with local authorities. Between June 26 and July 1, two people were rescued alive, 40 dead bodies were recovered, and a dog was rescued. 1,411 medical and first aid consultations were also provided, and 13.1 tons of medicines were delivered.

The head of the Executive announced that the support will continue: “A Navy ship will be sent, probably tomorrow, with the collection that has been made from different places to continue supporting Venezuela.”

Four-day operation concludes successfully

The municipal president of Tepetlaoxtoc, Diana Morales, confirmed this morning the capture of the Bengal tiger that escaped last Saturday from a wildlife center. The animal, identified as Kenzo, had caused the mobilization of federal and local authorities.

The escape occurred on the Property or Facility that Manages Wildlife outside of its Natural Habitat (PIMVS) called Animal Experience México. The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (Profepa) reported that the feline is already receiving medical attention.

Capture details

According to the official report, the operation lasted four days until the specimen was contained without any violent events or damage to people being recorded. Authorities did not detail the exact capture method, but noted that the safety of the community and the animal was prioritized.

Kenzo is under veterinary observation. Profepa will evaluate the conditions of the PIMVS and determine possible sanctions. The case revives the debate on the regulation of centers that house exotic species in areas close to residential areas.

The United Kingdom government issued a travel alert for its citizens due to risks of crowds and robberies during the celebrations of the next Mexico vs England match. President Claudia Sheinbaum responded: “It is safe to visit the country, there is no problem.”

Measures after incidents in El Ángel

Last Tuesday, four people died during the celebrations for Mexico’s victory over Ecuador at the Angel of Independence. Sheinbaum explained that, in coordination with the capital government, actions will be implemented to avoid new mass concentrations.

“Based on what happened, the City government is taking measures to put up more screens throughout Reforma. This way people disperse and do not congregate in a single point,” he said at a conference.

Call to responsibility

Sheinbaum made a direct call to the fans: “Act responsibly, avoid excess alcohol. We appeal to the responsibility of everyone, both Mexicans and visitors.”

The president reported that she maintains contact with the head of government, Clara Brugada. “I personally spoke with her. They have done their job well and now take precautions to avoid dangerous crowds.”

Response to the British alert

Asked if her cabinet had already coordinated with the CDMX government before the next game, Sheinbaum responded: “We are in contact. It is difficult to contain a million people with police. The idea is to guide and prevent.”

He reiterated that traveling to Mexico is safe: “We have seen it throughout the World Cup. There is no problem.” The strategy focuses on dispersion of attendees and surveillance without repression.
