Overview
- City crews and police removed the El Amanecer de los Cartoneros operation from an under–Perito Moreno Highway site in Parque Avellaneda, with 20 public-space agents, trucks and machinery on scene.
- Minister Ignacio Baistrocchi said there would be no negotiation, citing an expired authorization, neighborhood complaints and a shift from the site's original logistical use to textile processing.
- The property was transferred to the City’s assets administration to define its future use, with no decision announced.
- The cooperative and the MTE dispute any illegality, say the location was granted over 15 years ago and report about 200 workers handling more than 100 tons of recyclables monthly, including roughly 25 tons of textile scraps.
- The operation triggered a sharp exchange on social media, with Juan Grabois insulting Jorge Macri and the mayor replying by labeling Grabois a usurper as the City tallied this as property recovery number 553.
