El principio de confianza legítima en materia de espacio público y la protección de los derechos fundamentales de los vendedores ambulantes

Abstract

Due to the scarcity of employment and the extreme poverty generated by it, Latin American citizens have shown a greater increase in the application of informal work. They are forced to resort to this type of labor practice in order to satisfy their basic needs, and Colombian citizens are no exception. In this research, we intend to focus on the city of Villavicencio, mainly in its downtown area, which has been the subject of several socio-political problems due to the temporary and partial occupation of public space by street vendors who daily dedicate their activity working in this space. In such a way that this work aims to clarify important aspects such as the public policy that has been implemented by the local authorities, to provide an alternative of relocation to the population under study and in what way their fundamental rights have been affected. to work, minimum vitality and human dignity. It is important to highlight that the analysis regarding the protection and recognition of labor rights of ambulant workers will be carried out during the years 2015 to 2019. Consequently, a jurisprudential analysis was developed regarding the positions that the constitutional court has taken against to that topic. On the other hand, a first fieldwork was carried out in 2018, which consisted of conducting a survey that contained 5 closed questions, based on their experience in the face of abuse by the authority, their economic conditions and the effects workers who suffer due to the relocation of their work area. Finally, the investigation will culminate with the presentation of the results obtained with the surveys and interviews that were carried out with street vendors in the sector, where the labor impact and the legal connotation that is presented daily by a constant dispute between local authorities can be evidenced. to preserve the general interest, while leaving aside the particular interest in which fundamental rights are directly violated
