The structure will be relocated to a 'worthy' place and its former position dedicated to a monument that delivers 'social justice'.

A statue of Italian explorer Christopher Columbus situated in a prominent position in Mexico City is to be replaced with one of an indigenous woman.

The capital's mayor, Claudia Sheinbaum, said the 19th-century bronze structure would be placed in a new location. It was taken down from the Paseo de la Reforma boulevard last year for restoration work ahead of an annual protest. The statue's former position will be dedicated to a monument that delivers"social justice" regarding the historic role of women in"Of course we recognize Columbus. But there are two visions," Ms Sheinbaum said, adding that one of these was the European vision of the"discovery of America," even though civilisations had existed for centuries in Mexico.

Teenager escapes from 'kidnappers' by jumping out a windowFootage of the moment shows the 19-year-old woman dangling her legs from a first floor window before jumping from the building in the Turkish city of Antalya on Thursday. She's avoiding accountability, that is what women do. From Naomi Osaka to Theranos, they all have a fairy tale, blaming the other end. She was just out having fun, out of emotion that switch every 3 minutes like a nursery kid then, cut the 'sweet-deal'. She creates news after.
