Editor.- In poor condition and with losses, was how the personnel of the Department of Registration and Licensing of Jocotepec returned the products confiscated from the merchants who demonstrated on March 2.
In what was taken away were 35 kilos of avocado, with a commercial value of 1,800 pesos, a box of raw nopales and a tub of cooked ones, as well as a full box of honey, sweet bread, among other perishable products.
«They took our products from us, they did not let people pass by, people wanted to come closer to buy from us; I was giving them my product and the police did not let us give it to them, that is unfair,» said Carmen Aguilar.
An hour after the dialogues between the trustee and the merchants in the town hall, around 11:00 a.m. they proceeded to give them back their merchandise, however, some of the merchants reported deficiencies in their items, such as bruised avocados and gutted mamey fruits.
«I delivered them and they didn’t take it, that’s why all the avocados were damaged», commented one of those affected.
