MEXICO: Questions surround tragic gas tanker explosion
President Claudia Sheinbaum has said her government will review regulations surrounding the transportation of hazardous materials following the deadly explosion of a gas tanker truck in Mexico City (CDMX) on 10 September. The death toll from the incident continues to rise, with dozens still receiving treatment in hospital as a result of the incident. Scrutiny will remain high on how the federal government and CDMX government, also led by the federally ruling Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena), respond to the accident. While CDMX authorities are highlighting that there was no fault with the road surface, the incident will raise questions around the safety of roads around the capital and nationwide regulations governing gas transportation.
