Alcaldesa de Centro Clarifies That Bar Licenses Depend on State Finance Department

In the aftermath of the recent attack at a clandestine bar in Tamulté, Yolanda Osuna, the Mayor of Centro, has come forward to clarify the protocols surrounding bar licenses in the area. According to Osuna, the responsibility for issuing licenses to bars does not lie with the municipal government, but rather with the State Finance Department. This clarification is aimed at addressing concerns and misconceptions regarding the issuance of licenses to establishments, such as bars and nightclubs, in the region. The distinction is crucial as it highlights the role of state-level governance in regulating such businesses, which is essential for maintaining public safety and order, especially in light of the recent incident. The involvement of the State Finance Department underscores the importance of financial and administrative oversight in the licensing process, ensuring that only compliant and legally operating establishments are granted the necessary permits. As the community seeks answers and solutions following the tragic event, understanding the regulatory framework and the bodies responsible for its enforcement is key to preventing similar incidents in the future. By emphasizing the role of the State Finance Department, Osuna's clarification contributes to a more informed public discourse on safety, governance, and the rule of law.
