The new governor, Gabino Cué Monteagudo, is not a fan of the new roof over the Auditorio Guelaguetza either. "If you asked me if I like roof over the Guelaguetza Auditorim, I would say no; but I am not going to act in authoritarian way to let it stay or to remove it; we are going to make a consultation with the citizens and it is they who will decide, because these spaces are the patrimony of oaxaqueños."
Cué inherited this problem from his predecessor, Ulises Ruiz, whose administration was rife with problems. The process from the get-go was questionable with a plan approved and work undertaken before anyone really knew about it. Then the design and materials had major problems. Worked was stopped for months as URO left and Cué took over.
So it will be wait and see. The gueleguetza will take place and then decisions will be made. The project cost $8.5 million USD.

Isn't this too late? The roof is in place. If the people don't like it, can it be taken down and the money refunded? I don't think so. Gabino!! I want to like you but that is a stupid thing to say.
