VOICED : México reemplazará estatua de Cristóbal Colón por la de una mujer indígena

Mexico City will replace a statue of Christopher Columbus with one of an indigenous Olmec woman. The decision, confirmed by the National Institute of Anthropology and History, aligns with social justice efforts and coincides with the 200th anniversary of Mexico's independence from Spain. The Columbus statue will be preserved and relocated. The announcement follows threats to the statue and protests that have targeted it and other monuments, such as the Angel of Independence, with graffiti. The move is supported by Mexico City's mayor, Claudia Sheinbaum, who emphasizes its significance for indigenous women's recognition.
