A permit holder for five years, Joílma Cardoso Jorge Rangel states that the problem has gotten worse. "It's an ugly situation here. It's not just me, it's the same on the other side. Things here only get worse, nothing gets better," he said. She states that the traders approached the public authorities in search of a solution, but were informed that the maintenance of the bathrooms is the responsibility of the permit holders.
