Pedro Sola, a Mexican economist and television personality, recently voiced his dissatisfaction regarding the road closures and public transportation disruptions in Mexico City in anticipation of Shakira's concert at Zócalo on March 1. He took to social media to criticize city authorities for closing metro access points as early as Friday, when the free concert is scheduled for Sunday. Sola's comments reflect common frustrations among residents about the impact of large events on everyday commuting and access to public services.

Sola is known for his blunt critiques on various issues, and his remarks about this concert echo previous controversies he has weighed in on, including social policies and public figures' choices. His statements came amidst a broader discussion about balancing major public events with the needs of citizens who rely on metro services. The city's preparations for Shakira's concert have sparked significant discussion about logistics and urban management, particularly in a bustling area like Zócalo.

In response to the criticisms, the Metro director acknowledged the concerns raised by Sola, indicating that the authorities understand the disruptions caused by the concert preparations. They emphasized that steps are being taken to manage public access and transportation during this high-profile event. The conversation has thus highlighted both the excitement surrounding celebrity performances and the practical challenges they impose on urban infrastructure.
