Cancun’s Malecon Tajamar Prepares for President Claudia Sheinbaum’s Address

Workers install a large tent at Malecón Tajamar in Cancun for the broadcast of President Claudia Sheinbaum's message

Cancun, Quintana Roo — Preparations began early Thursday at Malecón Tajamar, where a large tent is being installed for the broadcast of President Claudia Sheinbaum’s accountability message scheduled for May 31.

Workers started assembling the structure at dawn, which will provide shade and shelter for attendees who will watch the presidential address, set for 11 a.m.

The event is part of a nationwide initiative by the president to commemorate two years since the electoral victory of her movement. Sheinbaum previously stated the goal is to avoid large crowds in a single location and instead hold simultaneous gatherings across the country.

In Cancun, Malecón Tajamar was designated as the main venue, prompting logistical preparations and site conditioning this week. In addition to the tent, audio equipment and screens will be installed to facilitate the broadcast.

About a dozen workers are currently involved in erecting the structure, one of the largest set up in the area for public events in recent times. Organizers expect a significant turnout of supporters and citizens interested in following the political event.

Authorities and event coordinators are continuing preparations to ensure an orderly gathering on Saturday, where attendees will listen to the presidential message and engage in community activities.
