Wtf that's nuts and sounds like it breaks several laws, like harassment and disturbing the peace or sum. I'd definitely have a stern word with them.

I never looked for potential laws against that, because... well, Latin America. But I think that it would be hard to classify it as either - it's multiple independent and uncoordinated agents, and the disturbance/harassment is not due to one of them interacting with you, but all of them.

I think that the city needs to pass some law specifically against selling and advertising stuff on public places.

This is gonna sound silly but I have that with joggers. Like I just want to relax in the park and there's all these joggers stressing me out with their self improvement vibes. So I end up having to go outside the city to find some peace in nature.

To be fair I do it myself too.

Anyway that sounds really annoying for you.

One time my roommate let a solicitor in during Corona. My god I gave him such a stern word I wouldn't be surprised if he quit because of it. I was so angry because I hadn't seen my friends in ages and then this fucker can just come visit? There's no way that was legal in Germany.
