Despite Prohibition, street vendors sell alcohol in the streets of the CDMX Historic Center; "he who bought, bought", say fans

Despite the implementation of the 'Ley Seca' (Dry Law) by the Government of Mexico City, which prohibits the sale of alcohol in stores and convenience shops since 3:00 PM, street vendors continue selling beer in the Historic Center of Mexico City. This occurs near the FIFA Fan Fest at the Zócalo, where many young people are consuming alcohol. During a visit to José María Pino Suárez Avenue, at least five street vendors were observed selling beer, offering different pricing models such as one can for 50 pesos or two small cans for 50 pesos. Some vendors arrived before the law was implemented to sell alcohol. Despite government efforts to enforce the ban, the sale and consumption of alcohol persist in the area.
