A recent protest by street vendors was met with a violent crackdown – but was their eviction necessary to ‘order’ the city’s public space?

An unsettling quiet has fallen over a stretch of the usually noisy Feria de San Telmo Sunday market.

some of them sell foods in not safe conditions. And some others are selling stuff which didn´t go through customs, so no artisans at all. Quite biased your article...
