00:00Now the news that in Mexico, local governments implemented a series of activities for families
00:04during Holy Week. Let's see more with Antonio Aranda.
00:09In Mexico City, squares and parks in the mayor's office of Inustiano Carranza were turned into
00:17fun centers for families with inflatable games and swimming pools, among other activities.
00:22The dancing fountains are one of the attractions most used by children to face the heat, which
00:31in Mexico City reaches 28 degrees Celsius.
00:33How do you feel to be refreshing in the fountains?
00:36Very good, very good.
00:37I am very well, very well. The water is good so that we can all have fun with the activities
00:42that our governor offers us.
00:45Our governor and our head of government.
00:48How do you see this park? Why did you decide to come here? What have you been doing?
00:51I live near here, and we saw that this was announced on Facebook, and I came with my mother.
01:02These activities are part of the efforts of local governments to offer an option to families
01:09who for various reasons cannot go on vacation.
01:14I think it's very good that they have this kind of activities for the children who couldn't
01:18go out because of their parents' work.
01:19We couldn't go on vacation, but it's good to bring them here for a little while.
01:29Parents emphasize that the activities are carried out in a safe and reliable environment
01:34for the community.
01:37I think it is a very good idea.
01:39There are people who don't like to go out during these times, and I think it's a very
01:43good option for the children.
01:44There is a lot of security, and in fact, since we arrive, everything is very clean, and every
01:50time we go out, the town hall asks if you are comfortable, and everything for the parents
01:55who are waiting for us to be much more comfortable.
02:01Some people consider that Holy Week is no longer a period for prayer and spiritual reflection,
02:09but necessary to have a few days of relaxation from the stress of everyday life.
02:17This change in traditions is good because the truth is that I think that if you go and
02:21do what you have to do, which is to go to church, and then in the afternoon you come to play with
02:25your children, it is very good.
02:27For me, it is good.
02:28Tradition, it's getting a little lost, but now the older people continue with the tradition.
02:38We feel the Holy Week, and we have to enjoy it, and now we are resting.
02:48As a way to offer places with recreation and fun for families, this type of splash pads
02:54and playground for children have been placed throughout the city of Mexico City.
02:57In this way, they will spend the Holy Week having fun in a calm and safe way.
