The City Council passed an ordinance that prohibits the activity of naranjitas in public spaces. The regulation was promoted by Mayor Pablo Cornet. The goal is to eradicate abusive practices that for years intimidated residents and business owners. The car guards operated without regulation and charged for occupying public roads. The ordinance seeks to regain control of the space that was at the mercy of extortionists. The measure was approved with support from PRO and Hacemos Unidos, despite Kirchnerist opposition. The text puts an end to an informal model that tolerated threats disguised as "collaboration." The decision received support from productive sectors tired of impunity. The municipality will now move forward with a private concession to regulate street use.
