The incident at the shoe grease factory "El Oso" caused a great uproar in Mexico City. Initially, it was reported that the eviction had been carried out by local authorities, such as the Secretariat of Citizen Security and staff from the Benito Juárez mayor's office, in compliance with a court order. However, the mayor's office denied this information the following day, clarifying that it did not participate in the operation.
The factory "El Oso" issued a public statement explaining that the situation was due to not submitting to extortions from organized crime, unfair competition, and corrupt authorities that invaded its property, severely affecting its operations. The company lamented being robbed and seeing its source of work destroyed.
On Friday, January 17, the eviction of the factory "El Oso," located in the Portales Sur neighborhood, occurred, an event that triggered looting where numerous people took the opportunity to carry away items, furniture, and materials from the site. Videos of the incident circulated on social media, showing the magnitude of the events.
So far, no further details have been revealed about those responsible for the eviction or the looting.
