The Municipality of Quito issued a Resolution , which cut back the complimentary movement of vehicle . Explores , as productive sector , is opposed to this since this restriction does not reserve the economical reactivation of their industries . And reactivation is needed as sales have been reduced by $ 170 million until August 2020 and Ecuadorian flower cultivation has decreased by 17 % .
Situation being aggravated"We see that the Municipality of Quito does not present any case of ' economic reactivation ' programme , the only thing it does is aggravate the spot . We have already been in pause for the last 6 calendar month , so we need to continue develop , generating more jobs , and alien central " , read Alejandro Martinez , executive president of the association . " Although we are still in a delicate situation , we ( the floriculture sector ) continue do all the efforts to recover from the crisis , as well as other generative sector in the state . "
Major problem : Chaoson the road , new doorway to corruptionThe fomite restriction leads to two serious and major trouble , Martinez explain . " Firstly more cars are going to be bought , as the restriction is base on the license plate number , which will worsen the mobility of the city even more . It would be real chaos . we will have Bogota dealings problems in a few calendar month . " And the 2nd major problem is that it will open a new threshold to depravity , he points out . " The Municipality should not be asking for safe - conduct or cut back the mobility of the city . Moreover , it is not giving a good example to the residual of the land . "
touch on the heyday industryThe limitation , in turn , will affect the blossom industry . " Our product add up from Azuay , Tulcán , Cotopaxi ( other provinces ) and they have to enter to the city to get to the airdrome . We coordinate a specific amount of flower boxes for an airplane . For example , if we institutionalise with 120 blossom boxes , and then it only arrives 60 box , because a truck was stopped and could not make it to the airport in its way to Quito ; the airline company would think twice to regress to Ecuador and keep doing line with us . "
" If we fail to the airlines , we would not accomplish our node ’ order and we will bust good kinship . If this occur , we can not pay remuneration or generate extraneous exchange for the area . Flower means 57 % to Quito Airport . Everything is a chain , we will not stop , we want to continue working and make jobs . "
Expoflores requests to derogate the “ Resolución Nº60 ” acquaint by the Municipality of Quito , and also , they ask for a architectural plan regarding the economic reactivation of their city . " The vehicle confinement wo n’t forbid COVID-19 , we are adult citizenry and we get it on how to take care of ourselves if we desire to outlive . We need tools , facilities , and help from our authorization , not to be detained . "
