Michoacán.- The national celebrations still continue and for this September 29, being the birth of José María Morelos y Pavón, Mayor Alfonso Martínez Alcázar has confirmed the attendance of the interpreter Gloria Trevi in the center of the city of Morelia to liven up the night.
Although, it is often said that the concerts of the artists who perform in the city are free since there is no sale of tickets, the truth is that no, because they end up being paid later with the taxes of the Morelianos.
Various sources such as ‘QueVer’ to ‘El Heraldo de Chihuahua’ have made public knowledge how much the singer charges for a concert; It is speculated that he usually charges from 80 thousand dollars to 300 thousand dollars per concert, which would be in Mexican pesos 1 million 500 thousand pesos up to 5 million pesos, in a single presentation and with advance payment. This information is recent, it was shared just last year, in 2022.
Contrasting this report, on September 7, 2023, on the portal of the H. City Council of Morelia, reported that the mayor together with his municipal government, built a vehicular bridge that connects San Juanito Itzicuaro with the bypass; “This road distributor together with the recarpeting of 848 linear meters of Rio Grande Avenue, had an investment of 2.5 million pesos,” according to statements.
In this and many other constructions the mayor has pointed out that “the Government of Morelia, through the Ministry of Public Works, promotes the connectivity and mobility of the Morelians of this area, building works that provide speed in transfers and free people from traffic so they can invest more time with family. ” But little has been thought about the collective welfare in the future with the decisions of the mayor.
For the just recent concert that the artist Julión Álvarez gave us on September 15, it was said that its cost was more than 8 million Mexican pesos, and in this next concert of the artist Gloria Trevi, the cost for very low would be up to 1 million 500 thousand Mexican pesos, if both amounts are added, The municipality could have 3 to 4 more road distributors betting on better connectivity and accessibility for pedestrians.
The comments of the netizens were not long in coming, both for the upcoming concert of the artist and the last presentation of the interpreter, the disagreement of spending almost 10 million pesos on entertainment and not on the needs that the city of Morelia asks to be met has been expressed.
