There seems to be very little point, apart from the ‘positive’ publicity spin, of these short-lived, usually just two or three day, ‘campaigns’ or ‘crackdowns’ on various activities. For a couple of days, there was a recent ‘campaign’ against illegal street vending of such items as sunglasses, dodgy DVD’s etc, and for those couple of days those vendors kept a very low profile, naturally.
Immediately after the end of the campaign it was ‘business as usual’ and at the moment, being the height of the summer season, you almost fall over the vendors on the streets and beaches, and if you are sitting on a bar terrace, there is a constant stream of sellers of goods of dubious origin.
It was the same with the dog poo campaign. A couple of days duration, maybe the odd fine here and there and then forget about it until next year.
