Cancún, QR. The National Chamber of Restaurant and Seasoning Industry (Canirac) in Cancun has appealed to the local Congress to relax the Dry Law in Quintana Roo, due to economic losses that it represents for the catering sector, especially as an eminently touristic entity.
Juan Pablo Aguirre de la Torre, president of the agency, said that in May 2014, in the Official Journal of the Federation, a reform of the general law of institutions and electoral procedures was published, at the whereby state governments decide autonomously to apply or not to enforce the prohibition of the sale of alcohol for electoral reasons.
The entrepreneur restorer commented that already in 2014 Jalisco has reformed its laws so that according to the general law Both the state and the municipalities are able to implement or not the prohibition law during the election days.
In Quintana Ro or, article 310 of the state election law maintains as mandatory the suspension of the sale of alcohol 24 hours before an election day to resume until In the first minutes of the day following the elections, which especially in the entity brings serious effects to the restaurant sector, which is unable to enjoy a full weekend, which are the days with the highest sales in the sector.
Aguirre de la Torre said that the measure particularly affects those associated with Canirac and the entire sector, made up of 12,000 establishments across the state, which generate more than 33,000 direct jobs and another equivalent in the indirect jobs.
In the future
The call is to legislate for the future, since the electoral process is already around the corner, it would not be possible to bring in legal changes that would prevent prohibition during the next weekend.
The municipality of Benito Juárez (Cancún) announced that, as in previous electoral processes, the ban law will be applied for the elections of July 1, but the tourist areas of the city, namely the area Kukulcan Boulevard, will be exempted.
In the 2012 federal election, the then governor, Roberto Borge Angulo, took a step prohibiting the application of the prohibition law in accommodation centers that pay attention to domestic and foreign tourists
. hotels, accommodation centers, establishments that sell food inside the hotels, we will allow the sale of alcoholic beverages with food, "he said on this occasion
. the norm since the Saturday before polling day, but in the case of the state, because of tourism, it was decided to only apply it on Sunday. "
