Mérida commercial regulation and enforcement

Overview

The Mérida City Council has initiated enforcement operations in Ciudad Caucel to regulate street commerce and manage public space usage. During an operation at the ‘Los 12 Caminos’ roundabout, authorities closed 28 establishments.

Mayor Cecilia Patrón Laviada stated the goal is to organize vendors toward “legal regularization” to maintain mobility and security. As part of the ‘Mérida Digital’ strategy, inspectors used body cameras to ensure transparency. Additionally, the Mayor addressed concerns regarding extortion and corruption, asserting a zero-tolerance policy and urging merchants to report illegal demands to the State Attorney General's Office.
