Banda music beach.- The alleged "gringo" who chased a worker from his home in Mazatlán has already given his version of events, starting by clarifying that he is not a foreigner.
A few days ago, news went viral about a man chasing a bricklayer who was eating outside his house, sparking outrage among local residents, who went to his home to throw eggs at him and confront him.

The situation escalated precisely because word spread that the individual was a gringo, which, combined with recent cases of gentrification in the country, served as a pressure cooker for national anger to explode against this supposed foreigner.
An episode of The Simpsons just took place in Mazatlán.Thus, a demonstration was organized outside "the gringo's house," with the firm intention of demanding that he be held accountable for his actions. The protest reached such an intensity that the police had to intervene to prevent it from turning into a scene worthy of ancient Wallachia.
A construction worker sat down to eat his lunch outside a gringo's house in Mazatlán. The gringo came out and chased him away. They set up his barbecue outside to help him get over his fatness.
And today there is also a party 😂

But what we didn't know was that the man with the house covered in egg yolks was not a gringo , but a Mazatlan native named José Ignacio Lizárraga Pérez, who came out to clarify that he did not discriminate against the worker, but simply asked him to leave the entrance to his house free "because they always sit there to eat."
“I never insulted anyone; I just asked them not to lean on my wall,” he explained in a video after the outrageous demonstration.
He also explained that, in the past, the construction site across the street from his house had damaged his wife's car when cement fell on it, prompting him to seek compensation from the construction company.
And in case you missed it: a guy asked his Tesla car to take him somewhere he'd never been before... and it took him to the gym.*👷🦺🌊 José Ignacio Lizárraga, 78, was accused on social media of discriminating against a construction worker in Mazatlán, but he maintains: “I never insulted anyone. I just asked them not to block my door.”* pic.twitter.com/S7bgbV3u4Y
