Animal welfare groups celebrated the measure, while small merchants expressed concern about the lack of support for the transition. Many of these groups are historical allies of Morena in the country’s capital.
In September, the capital’s Congress organized the first forum to regulate display physics of animals. At that time, the PVEM caucus assured that the meeting represented a plural and participatory space to listen to all voices and enrich the legislative discussion.
However, representatives of Morena called for travel with clear routes and support for businesses that currently carry out this activity, since there is a large number of people who live or depend on animal marketing and who could be affected if the PVEM initiative were approved under the terms of the reform project.
