The arrival of a Chinese 'giant' in the bazaar sector in the city of Tres Arroyos has generated strong 'uncertainty' and fear among local merchants. Although the municipal permit has not yet been requested, the facilities are in 'perfect condition' for a rapid opening. The installation of the 'giant' has alarmed the business community. Ramona Maciel, president of the Economic Chamber of Tres Arroyos (C.E.T.A.), showed empathy for local businesses, which are already facing a 'very complicated moment'. The new venue will cover 500 square meters and offer 'at least five job positions'. 'It is very difficult to invest,' Maciel pointed out, 'There are days when businesses are not making any money.' According to a report by journalist Enrique Mendiberri for La Voz del Pueblo, this involves an investment of $800,000 to open a 'Bazar XT' branch in the central building that used to house Banco Galicia. As Agencia Noticias Argentina learned from the report, the operation was carried out by a 'family of Eastern origin' that owns numerous similar businesses in AMBA. The main fear is 'unfair competition,' as new investors gain access to imported products 'at costs that are impossible for Tres Arroyos businesses to access.' Maciel demanded 'equal opportunities' and 'that no one have privileges.'
