Chilpancingo .- Cautiously, uncertainly, overpriced and in the midst of a police operation, half of the chicken vendors at the Baltazar R. Leyva Mancilla market resumed their sales, after a three-day suspension due to violence.As of 7 in the morning, some 24 Baltazar R. Leyva Mancilla chicken stores opened their stalls again.In the corridors of ship three the tension was felt.The merchants who decided to sell again preferred not to speak, they limited themselves to giving explanations using the exact words.Police officers with their canine pairs watched the area, but their routes are not constant, in more than an hour only two state police officers walked by.The mayor, Moranista Norma Otilia Hernández Martínez, promised that she would guarantee security, that 100 sailors would arrive in the municipality, but this morning they were not seen in the market.On the bars of some places there are fewer chickens than those offered regularly, some say that they only ordered a few chickens to see how the day evolves, or to put it another way: they bought little to have minimal losses in case they have to close their businesses in the morning. violence.The buyers were not lacking, from early on the stalls were with customers, not many, but enough so that the area did not look desolate for the previous three days.Many of the buyers decided to buy their chickens in this market because outside during the three days they came to buy it for 280 and 300 pesos per chicken."I sell snacks and I use chicken, I did not stop buying, they brought it to me from Tixtla but they gave me 280 pesos to my house," says a merchant.Photo: Arturo de Dios Palma / EL UNIVERSALThe woman preferred to pay almost a hundred pesos more for chicken than to close her business and, above all, to approach the places of sale to avoid risks.Sellers justify the price increase.They say that of the five distributors only one is working and that is making it more expensive.But they assure that in a few days the price and daily life will stabilize."We are not raising it much, about five or ten pesos, we are trying to take care of that," explains a vendor.Vendors prefer not to venture, some say they don't know if tomorrow they will sell again, if they will serve chicken again, because it doesn't depend on them, but on violence.Violence in that market there are very few ways to avoid it.For now there are police and military touring it, but as it happens it will always be a few days and they will withdraw.And when that happens traders across the market will once again be left in a vulnerable condition.Anyone can enter the Baltazar R. Leyva Mancilla market armed and murder, as happened on June 6, when the distributor was assassinated with four shots, in the aisles of the chicken shops or when a delivery man was killed in the parking lot.Before the closure of the poultry houses, in less than a week eight workers were murdered, including distributors, delivery men and farm workers.Read also: Containers stolen in Manzanillo were not 20 nor did they bring gold, clarify Colima authoritiesSubscribe here to receive directly in your email our newsletters on the news of the day, opinion, options for the weekend, Qatar 2022 and many more options.End your day well informed with the most relevant notes with this newsletterCopyright © All rights reserved |EL UNIVERSAL, National Journalistic Company.In the absence of prior authorization, the publication, retransmission, editing and any other use of the contents is expressly prohibited.
