Manifestantes protestan contra amenaza de demolición del Kennedy Center

El 20 de septiembre de 2026, alrededor de seis mil manifestantes se congregaron frente al John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts en Washington, D. C. , para protestar contra los comentarios del presidente Donald Trump sobre una posible demolición del recinto, tras la orden de un juez federal que obligó a retirar su nombre del edificio.

Los participantes formaron una cadena humana exigiendo la preservación del centro. La controversia se remonta a principios de septiembre, cuando la junta de fiduciarios aprobó el cierre de dos años del edificio principal para reparaciones de seguridad y consideró añadir el nombre de Trump como condición para obtener fondos. La junta advirtió sobre graves déficits presupuestarios y riesgos estructurales, mientras la administración presionaba por la demolición; sin embargo, el juez prohibió el cambio de nombre y exigió un aviso de al menos 30 días antes de cualquier demolición.
