New York City Mayor Eric Adams visited Santo Domingo to honor the victims of a nightclub collapse that claimed 231 lives. Accompanying the grieving Dominican community, he engaged with local authorities and stressed the need for stricter safety regulations. The tragedy unfolded during a concert at the Jet Set club, where numerous individuals still remain hospitalized with critical injuries. Adams's visit is particularly poignant as he navigates a reelection campaign amid political controversies, including scrutiny over past relationships with political figures.
This has to be a lesson for more effective supervision, for rigor in compliance with the rules. This is a wake-up call," D'Aza told The Associated Press.
Adams's visit comes as he prepares to run for reelection as an independent following a bribery scandal and anger among supporters of the Democratic politician over his warm relationship with Republican U.S. President Donald Trump.
