translated from Spanish: San Diego merchants love to settle with or without Morelia City Council permit

Morelia, Michoacán.- Members of different unions of merchants of Morelia imagined to settle in the Calzada Fray Antonio de San Miguel and Plaza Jardín Morelos if the municipality does not allow them to be installed on the occasion of the Guadalupanas Festivities.
At a press conference, José Francisco Ramos Castro, a member of the “Francisco J. Múgica” Trade Union, said he said that the city council cannot ban the installation of 300 seats near the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Morelia, since they have their permits up to a year in advance and many colleagues are on the brink of bankruptcy after having closed almost 3 months for the covid-19 pandemic.
He assured that traders already have a protocol ready for verbena to take place on the occasion of the Virgin of Guadalupe from November 20 to December 12 and although the Catholic Church has already confirmed that the sanctuary will be closed on 11 and 12, they want to get with or without the approval of the town hall.
Part of the proposal that traders have to allow their installation is that the stalls only measure 3 meters, the reeds will be served in bags that will be sealed once prepared and will also place at least 9 portable washbasins so that traders and customers can wash their hands.
Meanwhile, Silva Ortiz Martínez, member of the Union “Felipe Carrillo Puerto”, assured that traders are willing to buy electric dispensers of antibacterial gel, whose cost amounts to 18 thousand pesos per unit, in addition to traders must necessarily wear water covers and gloves.
He said that tomorrow the merchants will have one last meeting with the city council of Morelia to know whether or not they continue with the decision to cancel the Guadalupana Festivities, and if it is negative, they will continue with the idea of becoming installed on their own.
