A video caused great outrage this Saturday morning on social networks. In the images you can see how several police officers rebuke a street vendor on Avenida Jiménez with Carrera Séptima. In a few seconds, the fast food vehicle falls, with the naked eye, as a result of the action of a policeman.
“This reprehensible outrage suffered by Alexander and his partner, young people who seek their livelihood in the streets of the center deserves all the rejection,” said the representative to the Chamber for Bogotá Inti Asprilla, who made the video public, but quickly the Secretary of Government from the city, Luis Ernesto Gómez, responded with another video in which he can see how the young 19-year-old salesman is the one who knocks down the car.

“All perishable items you can take with you. This is what the norm stipulates ”, the uniformed man previously told Alexander, who in the middle of the action is agitated, trembling and exalted by what is happening and that is how moments later, in the edited video, you can see when he pushes the car .
In this regard, Gómez assured that the mayor had passed through the area early and had asked the street vendor to move the position to the platform, in such a way that it did not block the bike path, which was established in the area. “After 2 hours he had not withdrawn it, so the hearing was proceeded. This video shows that he dumped his car himself and the police were respectful ”.
After clarifying the facts, the organization Tremors rejected that the Police are preventing people from working in the midst of the pandemic, especially when they threaten to take away their merchandise or to exert symbolic violence. “Yes, there is a reprehensible act: the Police cannot take away from the most vulnerable people their only chance to survive. The anger of the citizens is understandable ”.
Others, such as councilman Manuel Sarmiento (Dignidad) released the full video in which they see how the policeman tells Alexander that they have to take the fast food cart, the young man asks about the days he will not be able to go to work and the uniformed man only tells him that they can take him to the Police Inspection to resolve the situation.
Secretary, unedited video shows the seller’s desperate reaction to the Police decision to take away his work instrument. They were not asking him to come, they were going to seize his source of income without offering him an economic alternative that guarantees a vital minimum https://t.co/34hSAOUgSL pic.twitter.com/nqidAOPewf

After that, Alexander tries to move the vehicle and tells the policeman to let him go, denying him the possibility is that the young street vendor decides to push the car and asks that the mayoress herself carry out the procedure, as he insists that he is not going to let his only livelihood take him away.
Given this, several city politicians have requested answers regarding the support of Bogotá Caregiver and the conditions in which this type of process is carried out. The Secretary of Government assured this medium that the action was taken because it was blocking the bike path as well as “nothing was confiscated. His cart broke down due to the fall that he himself caused, but we are helping him to recover it ”.
