Castro Municipality Clarifies Removal of Food Trailer from Plaza dos Viajantes

The Prefeitura Municipal of Castro officially spoke about the withdrawal of the trailer of snacks of the Praça dos Viajantes, after the repercussion of a publication on social networks. In a note, the administration clarified the facts and presented information that, according to the statement, was not mentioned in the original publication. The case involves the occupation of a public space and the need for legal authorization for the exercise of commercial activity.

According to the City Council, the measure does not prevent the exercise of commercial activity, but requires that it be exercised within the law, without appropriation or irregular use of a space that belongs to the entire population. The note reinforces that the public space belongs to everyone and that the rules must apply to everyone, without privileges and without exceptions.

Notifications, guidelines and deadlines for departure

The municipal administration stressed that the decision was not sudden, arbitrary or without prior notice. Since 2025, the owner has received notifications and guidance about the impossibility of continuing to use the space without proper authorization. In October of last year, the merchant obtained an injunction from the Court that guaranteed him the right to remain on the premises until October 31, 2026. The City Council fully respected the court decision and the owner had another year to organize.

In addition, the merchant was instructed to participate in the next tender process for the occupation of the commercial points available in the Parque Lacustre, scheduled for December of this year. The City Council did not detail the specific criteria or deadlines of this process, but indicated that participation is an alternative to the continuity of activity in a regularized place.

Complaints from the community and action of the MP

The situation of the trailer was also the subject of recurrent complaints registered in the Municipal Ombudsman. Nearby residents reported problems related to dirt, noise and disturbance of calm, even during the early hours of the morning. The note does not specify the number of complaints or the exact period in which they were registered, but states that the situation has come to the attention of the State Public Prosecutor’s Office of Paraná, which notified the City Hall to take action.

The City did not inform the exact content of the Public Prosecutor’s notice, but stressed that the removal of the trailer is a necessary administrative measure, preceded by guidelines, notifications and opportunities for regularization. The administration has also denied that the action sets up harassment of a certain merchant.

Public space and law enforcement

The City of Castro recognizes the importance of small businesses, entrepreneurs and all those who work daily to support their families. However, the right to work must go hand in hand with compliance with the laws. The note states that the use of public space must respect rules that apply to everyone, without privileges and without exceptions.

The municipal administration reaffirmed its commitment to economic development, respect for workers, transparency in public management and, above all, compliance with the law. The city did not say if the trailer was physically removed or if the owner left the site voluntarily after the court deadline.

The case continues to generate discussion among residents and traders of the region. The City Council advises those interested in occupying public spaces to look for official channels to obtain information on authorizations and tenders. The Boca no Trombone Portal will continue to monitor developments and will update this as new information becomes available.
