Entrepreneurs ask the government of Oaxaca de Juárez to fulfill their obligations to municipal workers, in order to guarantee governance.

Oaxaca.- The private sector, merchants, hoteliers, and restaurant owners launched a call for help to request the intervention of the state and federal governments in the face of the crisis generated by the blockades and barricades carried out by unionized workers in the municipality of Oaxaca de Juárez, who require the mayor Oswaldo García Jarquín to pay both his bonuses and the second fortnight of December.

On behalf of the businessmen, the president of the Mexican Association of Hotels and Motels in Oaxaca, José Rivera, stressed that the local economy is collapsing due to the closure of streets and highways, as well as the blocking of shopping malls and bank branches by the members of five unions of the capital city council.

They indicated that due to the unemployment of the municipal police there is a crisis of ungovernability and social, as well as a health risk due to the garbage that accumulated during the last three days in the streets of the city.

“As businessmen, we understand the struggle waged by unionized workers and we recriminate the attitude of the city’s municipal president, Oswaldo García, who irresponsibly has neglected his obligations to comply with the payment of benefits to workers of municipal unions,” they said. .
