At least since August 11, 2021, before the revocation process began, the capital addiction has uploaded the cherry-and-gold-hued photograph.
On the other hand, the name that appears in the publication with erroneous information is “Secretaría de Cultura CDMX”, while the name of the official page is “Secretaría de Cultura de la Ciudad de México”.
