Mexican newspaper 24 Horas reported that PVEM legislators handed out CENTINELA® wristbands at bars and restaurants in Mexico City. The outreach accompanied legislative proposals presented by the party’s parliamentary leader, Jesús Sesma.
What the proposals covered
The PVEM statement separates two initiatives: a proposed criminal offence and an amendment to the city’s commercial establishments law. The latter would require venues to make drink-testing devices available to customers, naming the Centinela wristband as an example.
The name “Ley Centinela”
ANIDICE publicly presented its proposals as “Ley Centinela”. Navarra Capital also used that name on 25 June 2025 when reporting Scarlett Guadamuz’s comments on the Mexican initiative.
Follow-up: document dated 9 September 2025
A later congressional initiative records that the criminal-law reform on covert administration of substances was approved on 29 May, published on 30 May and took effect the following day. That criminal-law change and the proposal about venue testing devices are separate instruments.
Context matters
“Ley Centinela” is the name used by its proponents and reported in the press. The sources consulted do not establish a legal requirement to purchase or use this bracelet brand.
The date refers to the original report. Later developments are dated explicitly in the text.
