Sao Paulo Victory for Street Traders

radio interview with Sao Paolo street vendors June 27 2012

Listen to a radio interview with the Sao Paolo street vendors after they hear of the decision that the Supreme Court has revoked their own decision and that vendors that held licenses in January 2012 will be able to retain them after all.  "It's a victory for sure- but for how long?", one vendor says. 

 Maira Vanucchi, StreetNet Brazil coordinator commented:

It's a real victory for street traders in Sao Paolo today! It was really moving.  There were 2000 street traders and others at the vigil waiting to hear what would be the result. When they heard that the decision of the President of the Tribunal of Justice Ivan Sartori had been revoked, the traders were overcome with joy, shouting and singing, hugging each other.  It was wonderful to see!  The Mayor Kassab will not destroy street traders' livelihoods in Sao Paolo.

Vitória das vendedoras e vendedores ambulantes hoje em São Paulo! Foi muito emocionante. 2 mil trabalhadores na vigília esperando o resultado do julgamento dos 25 desembargadores, na hora do resultado CONTRA a decisão do presidente do tribunal de justiça de SP, desembargador Ivan Sartori, que impedia a atividade da categoria, os trabalhadores vibraram de alegria, cantando juntos, chorando, se abraçando, foi lindo demais!

Kassab não vai extinguir os trabalhadores ambulantes da cidade de SP!
Viva a força dos(as) trabalhadores(as) unidos(as)!!
Gente, tem vitórias que fazem tudo fazer sentido de novo!
