In the city of San Pedro Garza Garcia in the state of Nuevo Leon, Mexico, during the speech of presidential candidate Jorge Alvarez Maynes from the Citizen Movement Party, the stage collapsed.

Axar.az reports that this information was disseminated by the Mexican press.

According to the information, a strong gust of wind caused a large screen reflecting the party's logo to fall.

As a result of the incident, 9 people died, and 80 people were injured. Maynes himself also sustained injuries as a result of the incident. Presidential candidate X announced that he was admitted to the hospital in San Jose, according to sources.

Pre-election events planned to be held on May 24 were postponed due to adverse weather conditions. Maynes announced that he would stay in Nuevo Leon to assist the injured.

It should be noted that presidential elections are scheduled to take place in Mexico in June.
