CAMAGÜEY, August 30 (Homero Pacheco Ordóñez, CPIC) A
police operative lead by lieutenant Antonio Álvarez rounded up and fined
several street peddlers attempting to sell agricultural products in this city's
San Ramón square on Tuesday.
"These peddlers are the solution to a serious problem, but the
government orders the police to round them up because they are more efficient
than the government distributors. It's revenge," said one resident who
declined to give his name.
The peddlers try to work the streets around the government agricultural
market, which cannot satisfy the demand of its potential customers.
One of the requirements imposed by authorities on the peddlers as a
condition of licensing is that they cannot operate in any one location, they
must always be on the move. This was the reason for the latest round of fines.
