The representative of the Unión de Tianguis de Mazatlán said the municipality should back away from this aggressive approach.
Beginning June 1, market stall owners who do not have permits or are behind in payments will not be allowed to sell their goods and will be fined, said Salvador Reynosa Garzón, of Mazatlán´s Official Mayor´s Office.
The municipality has been patient for five months offering payment schedules and discounts, he stated.
Fines vary between one and 20 minimum salaries, but they will start with the minimum fines, said the Official Mayor, adding that beginning next Sunday the municipality will close doors and families who are not in compliance will be fined. Although this is not what the municipality would like to do, the owners have been given ample time to pay, he pointed out.
Approximately 75 percent of stall owners in the Benito Juárez market are current with their annual permits, 85 percent in the Ricardo Flores Magón market are current and 80 percent in the Francisco Villa market are up-to-date, Garzón told media.
Vladimir Ledesma, representative of the Unión de Tianguis de Mazatlán, said the municipality should back away from this aggressive approach.
Last Sunday, he criticized, inspectors unconstitutionally kept many families without permits from working taking into account the recession, and asked the city to stop the aggressive collection policy.
