The Havana government announces the temporary closure of the La Güinera market.

The Municipal Administration Council of Arroyo Naranjo announced this Sunday the temporary closure of the Güinera marketing area.

From Facebook, the Government of Havana stated that this is a "temporary" measure motivated by "the hygienic-sanitary situation in the area."

"A partial closure of the area has been decided for a maximum period of 30 days starting this Sunday, October 6," during which they say they will "carry out actions through the different entities involved in the repair of leaks, outfalls, and roads."

The communication states that the goal of the closure is also to rehabilitate the roadways in the area, in addition to regulating self-employment activities.

They also assure that they will timely inform about the next market opening.

This closure, although it has a temporary nature, occurs just over a month after the capital government decided to shut down a wholesale market, China Import, which they claimed was violating the existing regulations for self-employed work.

Located in Manglar between Oquendo and Nuevo Pilar, in the Cerro, near the popular Cuatro Caminos market, the market was closed at the end of August, which generated a notable uproar on social media.

These days, in addition, the Cuban regime's Ministry of Domestic Trade (MINCIN) has closed several businesses for not complying with the regulations regarding the use of electronic channels for the payment of goods and services. Licenses have also been revoked, and fines have been imposed.

Known for the massive demonstration led by its residents during the historic protests of July 11 in Cuba, La Güinera is the neighborhood where the only protester from those days (Diubis Laurencio Tejeda) was killed, shot by a police officer who was tried and acquitted by the regime.

Since then, the neighborhood has become a place of "pilgrimage" for Cuban leaders, from the ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel to the national coordinator of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR), former spy Gerardo Hernández Nordelo, all committed to showing an image of closeness to the people and their "revolutionary fervor," amplified by the propaganda machinery of the totalitarian regime.
