Content of the News

The vendors of the popular and refreshing Panamanian "scrape" have no obstacle to exercising their activity under the program "Sabores del Barrio" of the Ministry of Culture.

The Director of the office of the Casco Antiguo (OCA) of the Ministry of Culture, Fernando Díaz Jaramillo, received in his office the vendors: Luis Visuette, Eladio Aguilar, William Aguilar, José Agudo and Julio Mendoza to explain that they can market at the Casco Antiguo, but following the biosafety indications given by the MINSA and those from the program "Tears of the Barrio."

In this regard, Julio Mendoza apologized for his misunderstandings and admitted that his statements did not have good communication with the office of the Casco Antiguo, as his other partners dedicated to the sale of this refreshing iconic product from the gastronomic culture of the historic centre had.

Mendoza acknowledged that she was reluctant to follow the guidelines of the OCA and that from now on she will wear the dressage that was given to her as well as the license, renewed today, so that she can exercise without any obstacle to the sale of the "raspao" widely sought after by nationals and foreigners.

Following a meeting with the director of the OCA and the institution's social and cultural program coordinator, Julissa Espinosa, the five scrape vendors and a "crazy ice" salesman who are integrated with the "Taste of the Quarter" program and that through the Ministry of Culture they are provided with a license and uniform so that they are clearly identified as the only ones recognized to sell their products at the Casco Antiguo.

The co-ordinator of sociocultural programs at the OCA, Julissa Espinosa extensively outlined all the work and communication that have been held permanently with all vendors so that they can conduct their activity safely.

Other vendors using the uniform provided with the logo "Tears of the Quarter" (T-shirt and hat), on the one hand, appreciated MiCultura's permanent backrest through OCA and reported that they have never been prevented from performing their activity.
