By confirming that, during the Buen Fin, street vendors will not have permission to set up in the streets of the Historic Center, the Secretary of the Interior, Francisco Rodríguez Álvarez, warned that they will be able to sell during the patron saint festivities.
This commercial dynamism due to the millionaire spillover achieved in the purchase-sale operations, is from the 14th to the 17th of this November.
In addition, he prioritized that informal merchants will not trade on Thursdays of each week, as part of the agreements reached with the leaders of the multiple groups of street vendors.
He insisted that the dialogue is maintained with the representatives of the street vendors and with the private sector because the idea is to have order in the arteries of Angelopolis.
He prioritized that this city council will not deploy operations like those developed by the PAN government of the past, where they even presented the closure of the streets with fences and police from the SSC to harm the economic units of the business sector.
He clarified that the inspections will be carried out by the Public Roads and Regulations supervisors, but not by the municipal authorities.
“We have been in dialogue with the leaders of informal merchants to tell them that there are no operations, the idea is that in an orderly manner we can find ways to solve these problems. Our priority is to keep the areas of the Historic Center clean for El Buen Fin.”
Rodríguez Álvarez recapitulated that the problem of street vendors in the northwest of the heart of Puebla has been going on for decades in Angelópolis, and it will not be solved overnight, but neither with “occurrences,” such as the closing of streets in the last weeks of the PAN government of the past.
He prioritized that doing these operations only affects traffic, mobility in the city, tourism and formal commerce, but it is worse because it distracts the strength of the city council to fight crime, “here, no, there will be occurrences.”
“During El Buen Fin there will be no street vendors in the Historic Center during those four days, it is something that we have already agreed with them.”
The Segom said that they will not allow irregular actions such as the famous floor charges or kickbacks and those who are caught will be subject to the full weight of the law.
Rodríguez Álvarez indicated that street vendors will be able to sell during the patron saint festivities, but the rule will be maintained so that everything is in order, without conflicts and without causing disturbances to the population by invading the sidewalks, roadways or medians of the streets.
