By Yucatan Times on December 27, 2020 Share Despite calls from federal and local governments, CDMX residents are defying the pandemic and hosting underground parties. MEXICO CITY (Proceso): At 8:00 p.m. on Saturday 19, the guests of Alejandra “N” began to arrive at her house in the Fuego Nuevo neighborhood of Iztapalapa. Several tables were already set up, for ten people each, with their white tablecloths, candles, and flower arrangements in the center. Not even 24 hours had passed since the Metropolitan Zone of the Valley of Mexico returned to the red epidemiological traffic light. Still, Alejandra defended her party: “Nobody guarantees me that I will have a birthday again, and I wanted to take advantage of it before more ugly things happen”.
