Following a construction accident at a Chedraui Selecto site in Plaza Crystal, Tampico, the family of Gonzalo Medina Hernández has launched protests and legal action. Medina reportedly fell approximately 15 meters while working, resulting in two pelvic fractures that may require a recovery period of up to 18 months.

Protesters briefly blocked a lane on Avenida Miguel Hidalgo to demand that the construction company and the Chedraui commercial group cover medical expenses. The family alleges that Medina was performing high-altitude work without a safety harness or basic protective equipment and claims to possess photographic evidence of the incident. They have stated that the initial 10,000 pesos provided by the companies is insufficient to meet ongoing medical and medication costs.
