Operational in San Juan del Río

The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (Profepa) reported the arrest of a man accused of illegally felling a strawberry tree in the municipality of San Juan del Río, Querétaro. The subject was placed at the disposal of the Attorney General’s Office (FGR), along with the chainsaw used and the forestry material obtained.

The events occurred on July 2 in the Dolores de Enmedio ejido. Profepa personnel carried out surveillance tasks in coordination with the “Forest Assets” Participatory Environmental Surveillance Committee. Upon hearing the operation of a chainsaw, the inspectors deployed an operation with the support of a drone and ground tours.

Investigation in progress

Upon arriving at the site, officials found the person cutting down an arbutus tree that had survived a forest fire. Profepa pointed out that the action occurred in flagrante delicto and could constitute a crime against biodiversity for affecting protected forest resources.

The agency indicated that the case will be investigated by the Federal Public Ministry to determine responsibilities. The identity of the detainee was not revealed, although images were released of the moment he was located next to the affected tree and with the tool used for felling.

A rapidly spreading disaster

A large fire consumed part of the town of San José de Comondú, in Baja California Sur. The preliminary balance is 25 homes destroyed and damage to at least another 50. The material losses are considerable.

The incident forced dozens of families to evacuate. For more than 12 hours, firefighters, brigade members, military elements and emergency bodies worked to avoid a greater misfortune.

According to municipal authorities, the fire was allegedly caused by negligence during the burning of palm tree waste, a common practice among residents. The mayor of Comondú, Roberto Pantoja Castro, pointed out that the windy conditions, high temperatures and abundant vegetation favored the rapid spread of the flames, which in a few minutes got out of control.

Response from the authorities

Local authorities activated emergency protocols to care for the victims and assess the damage. It is expected that inspections of affected homes will be carried out and support will be provided to evacuated families.

The community of San José de Comondú faces a difficult panorama. Many families lost their homes and require urgent assistance. The authorities have called for the solidarity of the population to help those affected.

World Cup 2026: a moderate boost for restaurants

The start of the 2026 World Cup did not meet the expectations of the restaurant industry. A survey by the National Chamber of the Restaurant and Seasoned Food Industry (Canirac) reveals that seven out of 10 establishments did not register significant growth in their income during the first month of the tournament.

The most and least benefited

Restaurant-bars and sports bars were the least favored. Only half of these businesses reported an improvement in consumption. At the opposite extreme, canteens benefited the most: eight out of 10 reported an increase in their sales. Bars, for their part, recorded improvements in just over half of the cases.

The increases were moderate, between 15% and 30%, with an average consumption of around 400 pesos per person during the first weeks of the championship. Canirac highlighted that, although the tournament represents an opportunity, it does not guarantee automatic benefits for the entire industry.

The organization did not offer projections for the rest of the championship, but warned that the impact varies depending on the type of business and its ability to attract fans.
