The debate on Sunday trading has been postponed in Santa Cruz.
In Santa Cruz, an important discussion regarding the permission for stores to operate on Sundays has been postponed to the beginning of November, during which the expansion of the tourist zone and the right of stores to independently determine their working hours will be discussed.
In Santa Cruz, an important discussion about whether stores should be open on Sundays has been postponed. Originally scheduled for October 14, the meeting will now take place sometime in early November. The exact date has not yet been announced. It is known that it will be held at the exhibition center.
This meeting will discuss various opinions on Sunday trading. Large chain stores want to be allowed to operate on Sundays. They propose expanding the area where there are always many tourists (ZGAT). Currently, this zone only covers the historical center, where all stores can be open. However, entrepreneurs from the city center are against such an expansion.
The mayor of the city, José Manuel Bermúdez, says that he will not expand the ZGAT unless everyone agrees. And his deputy, Carlos Tarife, believes that stores in Santa Cruz should have the right to decide for themselves when to open.
