News Attack at Cruz Azul cement plant leads to 20 people injured

Attack at Cruz Azul cement plant leads to 20 people injured

Mexico: A violent attempt by 300 people to take over the Cruz Azul cement plant in Tula, Hidalgo, led to around 20 people injured, eight seriously. The attackers were reportedly armed with machetes and firearms, with confrontations at the plant resulting in two people shot, Noticias Financieras News has reported. 120 people have been detained for prosecution. The dispute dates back to 2018 and stems from two groups disputing the company’s assets, with organised crime reportedly used at other plants. Cooperativa Cruz Azul affirmed that it had no relation to the attacks and urged the authorities to reestablish legal order.

In a statement, it said "Cooperativa La Cruz Azul reiterates its commitment to collaborate with the authorities for the benefit of the development of the Hidalgo community, as has been done to date in other states and municipalities of the Mexican Republic.”
