On Wednesday, July 1, 2026, the Puebla state government started removing some of the closure seals placed on Plaza Dorada shopping center since May 22, 2026. These seals, marked with “Bien Embargado” (Legally Seized), were installed by the Secretariat of Planning, Finance, and Administration after a dispute with the mall’s management.

The partial removal follows an agreement reached between Plaza Dorada’s administration and state authorities. Initially, the mall expected a full removal of the seals, but the government set conditions that limited the action to a partial lifting. As a result, some seals remain visible on certain walls of the building.

Despite the ongoing presence of some seals, businesses inside Plaza Dorada are allowed to operate normally. This development offers a hopeful sign for local commerce and the community that relies on this hub for shopping and social interaction.

So far, the Secretariat of Planning, Finance, and Administration has not publicly clarified the details of the agreement or explained why some seals will stay in place. This leaves questions about the next steps and the broader impact on the mall’s future.

For residents and visitors, the gradual reopening signals a move toward resolving conflicts that affect daily life and economic activity in Puebla. It also highlights the role of government intervention in balancing legal enforcement with community needs.
