No basic measures

In La Sierrita, San Luis, La Ceiba, among others, the mask, a compulsory use these days, was conspicuous by its absence. The body of reporters of this publishing house was able to verify that a part of the population still does not use it, with minors being a bulk of the mentioned group that ignores it.

“Here people do not respect, compa. Everything is a relax. In Soledad it is the same. It is my turn to go out because I have to bring the bread, but there are people who are only sucking cock, ”said a rose seller who preferred to omit his name.

A vallenato

Guillermina Escalante, a mother who is engaged in business in the city center, was meeting at the door of her house, in the Las Nieves neighborhood, in the company of her children and cousins, who surrounded her to talk about the situation that they are passing while listening to the accordion of a vallenato.

“This year, Mother’s Day has been very sad for not having my mother by my side,” said Guillermina, who explained that her mother lives in Santa Marta and that under normal conditions they would have reunited.

He said that during the conversation he had with his mother in the early hours of the morning, he told her that this year was going to be a different celebration, but that it was necessary to “fight to get ahead with the situation so that later we could see and hug each other.”

A particular scene was experienced in the El Santuario neighborhood, when passing through one of its streets it was possible to hear the musical notes of a Joe Arroyo sauce; however, at first glance there was no movement in the streets, much less where the sound came from.

The music came from inside one of the houses, where they had turned on the sound plant of a car. There, Nancy Mercado Pérez explained that her son-in-law got up early to celebrate with songs dedicated to mothers.

He assured that, despite the fact that he cannot find his other two children, he appreciates having health and the company of his daughter’s family, who help him cope with the days of confinement.

“Normally for this date we meet and celebrate with a special meal, music and dance,” said Mercado Pérez, who received congratulations from his distant children and grandchildren through phone calls.

Another situation that EL HERALDO could verify was the sale of liquor in the different towns in the south of the city. The trade was in full sunlight and without the slightest intention of making it visible, despite the Dry Law that governed the weekend.

A group of people, for their part, dedicated the hours of Sunday to meet and play dominoes, while children under 18 ran at full speed through the different streets of the aforementioned sectors.

In other neighborhoods such as El Valle, San Felipe, La Ceiba and Buena Esperanza, the commerce worked halfway. Many stores were closed over the weekend, and others were only home-delivered.
