Textile sellers at the flea market on Thursdays protest the new measures implemented

02 July 2020 - 10: 31

On the morning of this Thursday, in which it was expected that the weekly appointment of the street market would begin with total normality, incorporating new positions, those of textiles, after the end of the decree of state of alarm, it has not been so.

From the first hour, around 7:30 am, the textile sellers have demonstrated in the middle of the Plaza de la Constitución, where they had to install their stalls, for not being satisfied with the new measures implemented by the consistory.

Textile sellers have left their vans and trucks occupying the plaza, but not assembled. An act of protest, as they have indicated, "For not being able to install our stop every week. We don't want it to be every 15 days as established by the Town hall", has indicated a seller.

And it is that, since it has returned to the New Normality, from the department of markets and Economic Development, it has been working to find a solution to this situation, in which it is necessary to maintain some distances, hygienic-sanitary measures and control capacity.

In the case of Xàbia, the street market is divided into three different locations, making it difficult to control in this situation. Therefore, after starting the sale with the food stalls, the space has been reorganized to incorporate the textile stalls.

The option, according to the councilor, the entire market was regrouped in one location, but in order to maintain distance and control, the clothing, footwear or textile stalls were organized in two shifts and each one alternately went every 15 days.

A proposal that sellers did not like and that they express "It is the only municipality in the region that does not allow us to install our business every week as in other markets".

The Councilor responsible for this area, Marta Bañuls, already indicated that since the market is divided into three spaces, it is not possible to keep track of all the necessary measures in the New Normal.

On the other hand, the vegetable and fruit stalls have installed their stops, as is customary in the streets surrounding the plaza.
