Authorities indicated that the fence is to place plaques commemorating the Children Heroes in the Juárez Park in San Miguel de Allende.

“I believe that here in the Juárez park the earth and the plants will always be welcome, but the bricks, the rods and the cement have nothing to do in this park, this thing of making a pretext to put something to the Children Heroes It seems grotesque to me, here is not the space to do that,” said Adolfo Cervantes, member of the ‘Va por San Miguel’ association.
From the Directorate of Heritage and Historical Center it was reported that the work responds to a request from the Sedena and the National Guard, who requested a space to place the plaques with the names of the Children Heroes to hold a ceremony in the month of September. so it was decided to do it in Parque Juárez.

The population did not allow it.
