Los comerciantes reportan un aumento en las ventas gracias a la presencia policial que ha disuadido a los vendedores ambulantes. Sin embargo, se cuestiona la relación entre los comisarios locales y estos vendedores. A pesar de los avances, aún queda mucho por hacer para resolver completamente el problema. Los vendedores desplazados parecen haberse reubicado en otros barrios, lo que sugiere una necesidad de una solución más amplia y sistemática.

00:0011 without mantelos, the merchants say that the sales have improved, Fabian, do you know anything about this?
00:07Surely, yes, without mantelos and with a lot of police, with a lot of police surveillance,
00:12look at the delegation that is arriving and in each corner you have a policeman who is guarding to prevent,
00:18to prevent precisely that the mantelos return and obviously the tranquility of the merchants who can open quietly.
00:26Obviously the problem, as always, is in the familiarity, to put it in a loving way,
00:32that the police officers of the area end up having with the mantelos,
00:36because notice that all those people are police personnel, but they have nothing to do with the police station itself,
00:42they come from another side and it is the way in which they end up cutting, because it is like the yuyos,
00:48first one begins, another, when you want to remember, a whole district was filled with mantelos,
00:54because a lot of people circulate there and it is tempting for them to go to put the blankets and compete with the merchants.
01:03It is true, but also you will remember, Rolando, that this area of 11 was a seeding of mantelos and drugs.
01:12Here in one more block we participated, do you remember, in an operation where a bunker was closed where drugs were sold
01:19and the truth is that one of the women who has fought for this situation is Gloria López Ortiz,
01:24a woman who, come here Gloria, we are going to go a little further because now you can walk along the sidewalk,
01:29who has police custody because together with the neighbors of 11, and this is good to remark,
01:34they fight and claim and break and break so that there are no drugs in this area and so that there are no mantelos
01:41because coexistence was also made intolerable.
01:44You know that she was just telling me and I am going to reaffirm it now so that I can talk to you,
01:49before the mantelos out there had a certain relationship and now they had become very violent, is that so?
01:55Yes, how are you? Good morning.
01:57Yes, the truth is that it had become very hostile, it was very difficult to live together,
02:03there were 4 years and 10 months of people occupying the public space, right?
02:09But it had really become hostile, there were neighbors taking anxiolytics,
02:14there were really people very affected by the improper use of public space,
02:20because they were also at war with the one they had on the sidewalk.
02:23Of course.
02:24Rolando is listening to you, Gloria.
02:25Yes, Gloria, I remember cases that we have presented in the news of neighbors
02:30who ended up being threatened by organizations that were nuking the mantelos.
02:38Yes, yes, just like that, that continued and deepened, it was tremendous,
02:45I mean, I tell you that there were people with panic attacks, people who were afraid of going out to the sidewalk,
02:50people who no longer took out the dog, because they had had a conflict with the one they were occupying,
02:56because the policeman came and there was a scandal and the neighbor always ended up being impeached by chance.
03:07Ah, of course, well, that speaks of the connivence or the way that the police stations in the area understood the conflict.
03:18Yes, you are right, if there was no approval from a public official or a complicity, this would not happen, right?
03:30It is like that, it is inevitable.
03:33Because it is also impossible to deny.
03:35There is a link.
03:36And also, why are there mantelos in some neighborhoods and not in others?
03:41Of course, also.
03:44I mean, let's also take into account that there is a political issue,
03:48which sometimes depends on where the wind is going,
03:51whether it facilitates these illicit organizations to settle in the public space or not, right?
03:57It also has to do with that, because you, a neighbor of 11,
04:01you complained to the jurisdiction police station,
04:04why don't they take these mantelos out of here?
04:06And they said, because it is a political issue.
04:09They are here because it is a political issue, right?
04:11So, well, nothing.
04:13And well, in this last stage of the mantelos in the city of Buenos Aires,
04:17a social organization was added, right?
04:20That also added a spice that made them stay longer.
04:25Because the social organization had its agreements with the government on duty, etc., right?
04:31Gloria, what about the drug traffickers?
04:34Because we have also told many episodes there in that neighborhood
04:38of houses where they were sold, there were houses taken,
04:42where they sold four-handed drugs all day long.
04:46Has there been any progress on that as well?
04:51Yes, this year a lot of work was done since January.
04:54There is a whole area, if you remember, where Moreno, Catamarca,
04:58all that area of Jujuy, Belgrano Avenue,
05:02that we made a lot of notes.
05:05Although I am not telling you that no more drugs are distributed,
05:08there have been many operations, searchings, searches.
05:12Obviously there is a lot to do, but a lot has been done in this area
05:17and also in the constitutional area this year.
05:20You see that we are always witnesses or witnesses of causes
05:24because we are collecting all the evidence from neighbors.
05:27So that's why we are following the drug issue.
05:31Work has been done, obviously a lot is still to be done,
05:34but a lot has been done.
05:36Gloria, do you know where the drug traffickers went to stop?
05:41Yes, the neighbors of Flores say they are in Flores,
05:46another part in Parque Rivadavia.
05:50In other words, they are being distributed in different neighborhoods.
05:54The micro center, Rolo, the micro center in Florida,
05:58do you remember that there were no more drug dealers in Florida?
06:00Well, now there are.
06:02If they don't sell in one place, they sell in another.
06:05Those people are still working somewhere.
06:07Yes, yes.
06:09The problem is that they end up working for larger chains of smugglers.
06:16This is the real problem.
06:18Do you remember?
06:19Yes.
06:20Yes.
06:21Rolo, what we were talking about the other day,
06:23that they had put a shed, a sales stand around here in Once.
06:26Does that still work?
06:28Gloria, there are people working.
06:30No, no.
06:31The sheds, on the day of the almost 200 raids,
06:35one of them was raided because the smugglers were using it as a warehouse.
06:40And there was a lot of apocryphal brand merchandise in the place.
06:44And from that day of the raids,
06:46And do you know who the owners of those sheds are, Gloria?
06:50Well, the city government rented it, the one on Perón Street.
06:55I don't know if they still have it.
06:58It's not that they gave it back.
07:00That was a place that was intended to have sheds,
07:04and it ended up becoming a warehouse because no one went there.
07:08Sure, sure.
07:10No one went there, but the smugglers used it as a warehouse.
07:14All the smugglers who were on the streets.
07:16In the streets, there were 10 apples occupied by smugglers.
07:20So, take into account that there were 7,000 people.
07:23But this was a phenomenon.
07:25They put the shed to sell, and they used it to copy the merchandise.
07:28Sure, a shed that all the taxpayers used, right?
07:31Sure.
07:32I mean, clearly.
07:34From a ministry of the city government, the shed.
07:41Fabi, thank you for the contact.
07:43Thank you, Gloria.
07:47See you later, Rolo.
07:48And you, who accompany us every day.
