The UN warns that in the country, a worrying situation is turning into a market, which concerns both merchants and citizens. Under the slogan 'We are not invisible', merchants seek to be heard and demand a prior census to identify property owners and their needs before implementing new regulations.
Traffic in Mexico City could be affected due to a march that will take place, so citizens are advised to take precautions. Traffic disruptions are expected on several avenues and main streets of the city. Merchants express their discontent with the measures implemented since January 9, which, according to them, affect their property and the operation of their businesses.
Among the roads affected by the march are Periférico Oriente and Sur, Paseo de la Reforma, Avenida Insurgentes Norte, Calzada de Tlalpan, Avenida Javier Rojo Gómez, Eje 10 Sur, Avenida Delfín Madrigal, Avenida Miguel Ángel de Quevedo, Avenida Congreso de la Unión, Calzada Ignacio Zaragoza, Avenida de las Granjas, Eje Central, and Eje 6 Sur. Authorities recommend that motorists take precautions and plan alternate routes to avoid delays.
This Tuesday, March 4, a mega march will be held by the Plural Movement of Public Market Merchants of Mexico City, which will depart at 8:00 am from various points in the capital heading towards Zócalo. The mobilization is carried out in rejection of the new regulations imposed by the capital government.
Among the most questioned regulations is the digitization and simplification of procedures such as the issuance of registration certificates, annual renewals, changes of business types, and permits for commercial activities in pilgrimages. Organizers claim that these measures were not consulted with vendors and that there are inconsistencies between the requirements established by the mayors and those published by the government of CDMX.
