The government have promised to mount police pressure and campaigns against 'top manta' (read article in Castilian here, El Periodico). Calafell and El Vendrell have disallowed the free zones they had set aside for the illegal merchants after business owners call for public awareness plans. A meeting which convened yesterday held by Interior minister Joan Saura. Despite high tension between traders accusing the government of abandoning them, the meeting served to temper the mood and resolve the controversy created by the mayors of El Vendrell, Benet Jané, and Jordi Sánchez from Calafell.  Yesterday both municipalities agreed to put an end to their tolerance zones by September 1st. In return Saura, promised that before that date they will receive a boost to the number of Mossos, who will work with local police to prevent street vendors working in tourist areas. With regards to other areas in Catalunya the solutions were more vague, they agreed medium-term measures to combat the problem, for instance forming a committee to monitor the phenomenon which will be formed by the councils, government and the state. The council announced it would increase the number of investigations on counterfeiting networks that provide the goods the street vendors sell and the governmental delegation pledged to increase controls over illegal immigrants in the groups of illegal vendors. Saura said of the forthcoming campaign to raise awareness said: "In carrying out awareness campaigns to persuade the public not to buy the goods and that they only contribute to job losses in Catalunya and perpetuate slavery situations." The mayor of Calafell said of the turnaround,"we will start work immediately with the Mossos. We lacked support before, we were overwhelmed, but the horizon has changed."
