Overview

• City Police led a coordinated operation to clear the former Canning meat market site at Av. Raúl Scalabrini Ortiz 2300 in Palermo.
• Authorities said the action was initiated ex officio as a preventive measure due to severe deterioration posing structural and environmental hazards.
• Municipal agencies including the Emergency Assistance Guard, the Environmental Protection Agency, Public Space and Urban Hygiene, and the Social Support Network took part.
• Officials said the property was handed back to its legal owners after the clearance.
• The government framed the move as part of a broader campaign that has reclaimed sites such as Casa Blaquier and the so‑called Elefante Blanco and included large crackdowns on illegal street vending.
