We've started here but the idea is to not only open one shop but to generate economy. We first wanted to open a restaurant so that 'manteros' (illegal street vendors) could work there, prepare food, but the project didn't move forward due to the pandemic. The idea is to create projects so that people stop selling in the street and so they can work and live with dignity. Everyone wants to have a dignified life. Being out in the street, always running away from the police... nobody wants that, people do it because they don't have a choice. In the union, we want to give them choices so they're not out in the streets selling."
