The purpose of relocating the mobile vendors is to maintain order, organization, and respect for the businesses and for the visitors. There are 93 informal vendors, in total. Municipal General Secretary César Poot Pérez, and the director of Enforcement (Fiscalizacion) Jorge Mejía are overseeing the relocation of 21 mobile vendors, who were removed from malecon boardwalk of Rueda Medina and from the beaches, and are all dedicated to selling handicrafts.
The officials met with representatives of this dissatisfied group, explaining that the City wants to treat them with respect, to understand the situation of each of them, and to give them options for relocation, making it clear that the City will not reverse its position on the issue of keeping the beaches of Isla Mujeres clean and orderly.
The situation of dissatisfaction stems from the Programa de Ordenamiento del Comercio Informal (Program of Planning for Informal Trade) conducted by the Enforcement agency (Fiscalizacion) in recent days, relocating street vendors away from Playa Norte (North Beach), giving them options to work at the mercado de artesanías ("flea market" near Poc Na hostel), mercado municipal (municipal market on Guerrero) and other downtown streets.
So far, 70 mobile vendors who sell food, clothing, tattoos, and other items have been relocated to the colonias and other areas of the island, including downtown between the Monument to the Fishermen and the Convention Center. All that is lacking is the relocation of 23 vendors who sell handicrafts, and the officials say will continue to have a dialogue with these sellers, with a maintenance of respect for the law and authority, to construct options. This government is providing opportunities for them to sell their products, but in the matter of the beaches, those who enter that area and disregard the warnings will forfeit their products.
The director of Enforcement (Fiscalizacion) reported that there are a total of 193 mobile vendors in the municipality, of whom 93 were relocated from the beach area. Of these, 40 sell crafts, 32 sell food, 2 sell silver, 16 sell clothing, two do braids, and one sells tattoos. The 21 sellers who protested at City Hall are sellers of handicrafts. The sellers of food and other items have been moved to the parks and other areas of the city where they have the opportunity to sell, and others have taken the option of leaving the island, because they are outsiders.
It is noted that the Programa de Ordenamiento del Comercio Informal is a response to a longstanding request by tourism service providers, hoteliers, restaurateurs, and the general public to provide an image of order, legality, and cleanliness for the sake of not harming the image of this tourist destination.

ISLA MUJERES, 7 de abril.-
Approximately 500 boats in Isla Mujeres and Puerto Juarez under forty feet in length were immobilized when the port was closed to minor navigation, including those that offer sightseeing tours, trips to Contoy Island, sport fishing and fishing "ribereña", as well as private vessels. The prevailing winds were 27 to 37 km/hr with gusts of 57 km/hr. These vessels have been 'grounded' since Saturday night. The larger vessels of 40 feet from the Cancun Hotel Zone, such as the catamarans, could conduct activities such as snorkeling in the area of El Farito, and tours around Makax Lagoon, but the small boats remained inactive. The Harbor Master explained that strong winds are typical in this season, and tend to occur yearly during the Easter Holidays, and advised the nautical sector to be patient.

This information is given by workers of vessels originating in Isla Mujeres who are economically affected by this. The sports fishermen are said to have departed for other island destinations such as Jamaica, Bermuda, Bahamas, and the Cayman Islands. It was clarified that in no way do they have any problems with Isla Mujeres as a tourist destination, but they are seeking other locations for the capture. It is said there were some 200 sports fishing boats anchored or docked in Isla Mujeres, and now there are just 10 or 15 of them remaining, while the others have left seeking better sites for capture. The affected workers in the sports fishing industry say it is important to have research on the process to define the situation which is causing the scarcity of this species in this area.

Failure in underwater electric line caused power outages in Isla Mujeres
Posted: 07 Apr 2014 08:19 PM PDT
Isla
Mujeres. – José Manuel Alcocer Cobos, general manager of the Comisión
Federal de Electricidad in Isla Mujeres said that no more power outages are expected and the outage on Saturday was due to a problem with the underwater line. He said the difference between Isla Mujeres and Isla Holbox is they have big generators providing energy for the residents, while here we have an underwater line. This line, which has been in operation for a little over eight years, suffered problems on Saturday, causing an outage at eight in the evening, until power returned about an hour later. At first it was thought that a boat damaged the line of 'four faces' (of which only three worked). Then it was determined that the problem was provoked by same time usage, which was verified, and in an hour the service was restored. On Monday, two more cuts in service occurred, but these were caused by the substation in Cancun, apparently when they were conducting tests on new equipment.

Mobile vendors protest in front of Town Hall
-
The 23 mobile vendors had hoped to meet with the Mayor, but instead the General Secretary spoke with them, and the director of Fiscalization (Enforcement.) They explained that the government is open to dialogue, but is not going back on its position, and there is no possibility of vendors returning to the beaches. The vendors will be relocated to an area that will be defined within two weeks.The officials said the government is tolerant and seeking to provide a solution to a serious problem that has existed for many years and not one wanted to face. They listened to the needs of the informal vendors, and the sellers agreed to abide by the new rules and stay in the designated areas, away from the public beaches.

The Office of Consumer Protection is requiring the fishing cooperatives of Isla Mujeres to display a price list of their products. The agency also performed a calibration of their scales to assure they are accurate. The cooperatives are complying with these requirements, which allow people to compare costs and chose where they make their purchases. Unfortunately the cooperatives must do their paperwork in Cancun, because there is no local PROFECO office. Fines and penalties will be applied to any cooperative that does not comply, and the prices are displayed on a green poster. There will be variability of what is available in stock, depending on the season and demand. Currently as we approach Easter Week, the demand increases and as occurs every year, a scarcity of the product is noted.

Announcement of increasing taxi rates
The Taxi union leader Eduardo Peniche Rodríguez said the increase of two pesos is expected in early May, raising the rate for islanders from 13 to 15 pesos, and for students from 6 to 8 pesos. He said this rate has not been increased in five years. He explained they are waiting for authorization from the Ministry of Communications and Transportation (SCT), for this 12 percent increase. He noted that the taxistas have endured marked increases in costs of fuel, spare parts, and other expenses. He said currently the rates have not increased, and if any driver charges more than is stipulated, it can be reported at the office and appropriate action will be taken. (Note: This is the local rate between colonias, and there are higher rates to other areas, particularly the tourist areas. A photo of the rate chart taken at the taxi stand is always available at the bottom of this blog.)

| More than 20 vendors threatened to return to North Beach to offer their products if the government does not keep its word to resettle them to a suitable location. Cecilia Gomez, wearing traditional Chiapas attire who has spent some time in Isla Mujeres, spoke on behalf of the group, three weeks after about 200 vendors were evicted from the Rueda Medina boardwalk and the beaches. She said,"We had no income to meet family expenses; not for school expenses for our children , not for food, and our savings are exhausted because we do not sell anything where they sent us." They were gathered in front of City Hall at 11am carrying signs saying "I cast a vote for you and now I am cast into the street", I am a mobile vendor, not a thief, I am being discriminated against for being indigenous?, We are parents of families who demand to return to our work on the beach, I am a single mother: let me work, and "Let my parents work". This movement began on Monday and several tourists began supporting these people and making negative reports on social media that the relocation of these vendors was poorly planned. Canadian Sandy Strong, who has been visiting Isla Mujeres since 1999, said the Chiapan women represent a Mexican culture and an opportunity for people to interact with people and their traditions, adding "I don't see them bothering the tourists." Austrian Stefanie Schararz said she is thrilled to be able to interact with this Mayan minority. Mexican Ricardo Lopez noted that this is a Mexican minority that often suffers from the decisions of authorities, whose policies have not included this social sector for a long time. The procession arrived at City Hall and were met by police who prevented all the members from entering together. The town General Secretary, Cesar Poot, communicated with Jorge Mejia, director of Enforcement (Fiscalizacion) and in his office they met with them to hear their individual complaints. The officials said the are committed to the implementation of the Programa de Ordenamiento del Comercio Informal to relocate the mobile vendors off of North Beach, giving them options to work in other locations such as the Mercado of the Artisans (the 'flea market' by Poc Na hostel), the municipal mercado (on the back street of Guerrero), or other streets downtown. They discussed the status of the 193 vendors, of whom 93 were relocated off of the beach. Of these 93 vendors there are 40 selling crafts, 32 selling food, 2 vending silver, 16 offering clothing, two do braids, and one offers tattoos. A traditional ice cram seller complained that this case is unfair because he does not occupy the beach, but rather he keeps moving around downtown, and also in the colonias. He said, with concern about this governmental action: "I do not understand why the do not want to renew our permits; we are of the island and I've maintained my record of payments without problem." |

An agent of the state Judicial Police arrived, but ended up accusing the employees, and this was published in the media. The employees complain that they are being suspected of theft, but there is video evidence of what happened, and they want an impartial investigation to capture the person responsible. Residents are requesting the instillation of surveillance cameras along Rueda Medina and other sites to curb this sort of activity, and suggest an internal investigation in the municipal police force to detect any alleged criminal associations that could exist.
