Cuyoaco Mayor Draws Criticism Over Store Threats and Bus Confrontation

His brief social media post promising disciplinary action has failed to calm public concerns about misuse of his security detail for personal disputes.

Overview

  • A video from July 28 shows Iván Camacho Romero threatening employees at a luxury store in Angelópolis for refusing a refund.
  • Eyewitnesses say his armed bodyguards entered the store aggressively and staff feared for their safety until mall security intervened.
  • Camacho Romero claimed the disputed item had manufacturing defects for eight months and announced “decisive measures” against arbitrary conduct without specifying details.
  • A separate viral clip depicts the mayor blocking an ADO bus on the Puebla-Cuapiaxtla highway as he confronted the driver over a perceived traffic slight.
  • Critics on social media have condemned the use of public security forces for private matters and no formal legal complaints have yet been filed.
