BRAZILIAN authorities inspected and closed night spots around the country on Thursday as part of a crackdown on unsafe public spaces, after a nightclub fire in Santa Maria city in Rio Grande do Sul state left 235 people dead. Officials in Venezuela, Nicaragua and Mexico also increased inspections.
The action comes a week before Carnival celebrations get under way across Brazil and much of Latin America, with revelers set to pack streets and venues.
In Rio de Janeiro, officials said they were considering the possible closure of some of the dozens of cultural centers operated by state and local governments, including theaters, libraries and museums said to hold expired licenses.
