Yesterday, the general census of permit holders began in Market 4. However, a group of these workers demonstrated against the initiative. During the force measure, they closed important intersections such as Av. Pettirossi from Peru to General Aquino.
They question that the commune requires them to pay their debts, but sales have declined since the start of the pandemic. In other words, they ask to work quietly until the situation improves.
At the height of the demonstrations, they indicated that “blood will flow” if the measure is maintained.

Federico Mora, Asunción’s chief of staff, said that they were present with the prevention team, councilors and with the director of Mercado 4 to start the census. The objective is to update the data of premises and permit holders. In order to do so, validate, contrast, and analyze the capacity and infrastructure that the market has for water connectivity systems in the event of fires.
“We want the Market to become a safe place,” he said.
Regarding the demonstration, he pointed out that they will work on communication and awareness that this will be for the benefit of all.
“A very fluid conversation is taking place with the director Juan Villalba. There is some resistance, but we believe that with good communication we will achieve the objective ”, he stressed.
Regarding the debts, he pointed out that they will have a map with the number of permit holders. Once with that data, they will take provisional measures.
Francisco Alonso, a permit holder, pointed out that the census will be positive. Since many poorly located permit holders will be better located in places where passage is difficult. “I am always in favor of them because there is no work. It cannot be fired by the permit holders. For 45 days the debts will not be collected, that is the data they gave us, “he commented.
