Sinaloa.- In anticipation of receiving some support from the authorities, tiangueros and traders of the center of Culiacan manifested themselves in the Government Palace. Hungry and upset that they couldn’t work for nearly two months, about 30 merchants demanded attention from the state governor. 

“Food is no longer at home, children expect food and there is no one who will come to provide that food, we have the disease of hunger we are already sick,” exclaimed Maribel Salazar, who works in the Tianguis of Culiacan and is a single mother. The Protestants were asking for pantries and, in turn, the possibility of being able to access a credit that they could afford once the contingency is over.
