Description

The 11 Requesters are merchants whose businesses are located at "Mercado 4" and around the  Eusebio Ayala Street at Asunción city center, where the IDB is financing a Metrobus system.They allege that they were not consulted on the project, and for those that will need to leave the are, no alternative location nor compensation has been offered. They also comment that there are no environmental and cultural heritage impact studies.As regards the alleged harm, they comment that the project will have a negative impact on their livelihoods in two aspects: the first, during execution, as they consider that sales will drop due to lack of access and that will in turn reduce their profits, lead them to fire personnel with the ensuing impact on family incomes; the second, comes from those that have been informed they have to leave the area and relocate somewhere else without any relocation plans or compensation.This Request is linked to numberMICI-PR-2016-0099, which provides complementary information.The Request includes testimonial videos available only in Spanish.
