Prosecutors initially said the fire killed eight women and 15 men and injured 13 people. López Obrador said the death toll had risen to 25, but did not specify the gender of the victims or the number of injured. There was no immediate information on their condition.

Veracruz state police said the Tuesday night attack targeted the “Bar Caballo Blanco,” though the bar’s name was in English on a sign outside: “The White Horse Nightclub.”

It advertised “quality, security and service,” private rooms for $7.50 “all night,” ‘‘sexy girls” and a pole dance contest.

Photos of the scene showed tables and chairs jumbled around, with the bodies of semi-nude women lying amid the debris.

That's no bar.

Good thing there were no guns involved or someone could have gotten killed. /s/

======================================

$7.50 “all night,”

That's a pretty low bar, in any event.

Well then it would have been a “tragedy”

That’s the Room cost. Room service is extra I’m sure.

This is close to the stomping ground, Tabasco of the President. He said he would stop this nonsense.

In case you are wondering where this happened in Mexico ...

Las putas changed up their business model so they could accept credit cards.
