Does selling balloons belong to the occupation of roads, and is it reasonable for urban management to confiscate them?

On February 2 1 day, a video of "The balloon girl was confiscated by the urban management and released in a rage" was circulated on social platforms. In the video, a woman said "no, no" after a dispute with the urban management law enforcement officers, while releasing the balloon in her hand and turning away.

According to media reports, witnesses said that the incident occurred in front of a kindergarten in Tianjin Binhai New Area, and the above scene occurred after law enforcement officers demanded the confiscation of the woman's balloon. Some netizens believe that urban management should not confiscate women's balloons; Some netizens also think that "hydrogen balloons are easy to burn and explode, and it is too dangerous to sell at the entrance of kindergartens".

In this regard, some media commented that "this lady is standing on the sidewalk selling balloons, and pedestrians will definitely avoid it, so there is no situation of occupying the road." Even if it really violates the regulations, law enforcement officers can persuade them to leave, instead of directly confiscating balloons. "

"Not only are balloons not allowed to be sold." The staff of Tianjin Binhai New Area Urban Management Committee said, "Kindergartens and schools cannot sell goods that affect children's learning and development. Shops are not allowed within a certain range, and mobile booths are not allowed. "

The Red Star journalist noted that according to Article 19 of the Regulations of Tianjin Municipality on the Administration of Urban Appearance and Environmental Sanitation, which was revised at the 7th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 17th Tianjin Municipal People's Congress on February 20 18, 14, it is forbidden to occupy roads and public places without authorization to engage in business activities such as sales, production, processing, replacement, motor vehicle cleaning and catering. In violation of the provisions, the illegal income and property shall be confiscated and a fine of not more than 5,000 yuan may be imposed.

At the same time, the "Chapter III Urban Management Standards" in the Regulations on Urban Management of Tianjin also mentioned that "the management of city appearance should be free from illegal construction, illegal occupation of roads, selfless opening of doors, and hanging and scribbling."

In recent years, disputes between urban management and operators in China have occurred from time to time. According to the "Regulations on Urban Road Management", the behavior of small vendors or vendors occupying the road is generally based on warnings and ordered to correct the occupation behavior. However, operators who refuse to correct or occupy roads for many times may be given administrative penalties of fines.

On the afternoon of February 2 1, the staff of the administrative law enforcement detachment of the Urban Management Committee of Tianjin Binhai New Area told the Red Star journalist that they were unaware of the confiscation of women's balloons by the urban management and had not received a report. However, according to media reports, the behavior of women selling balloons at the entrance of kindergartens is illegal occupation of roads, which violates Article 19 of the Regulations of Tianjin Municipality on the Administration of Urban Appearance and Environmental Sanitation, and their illegal income and property need to be confiscated.
