Selling 5 pounds of celery was fined 66,000 yuan! In the past few days, the encounters of a couple in Yulin in Shaanxi and heated discussions caused by them continued to occupy the hot search of various online platforms.

5 pounds of celery, 20 yuan income, a fine of 66,000 yuan, and a clear number of numbers, the operation of the local law enforcement department not only aroused dissatisfaction with netizens, but also attracted the attention of the State Council's inspection team. In the face of inquiries, a deputy director of the local market supervision bureau bluntly said that "the penalty is not equal."

In fact, according to reports, this is an old thing, which happened in October last year. The reason why the reason for nearly a year was because the inspection team of the State Council received the news from the masses on the "State Council's Internet+Inspection Platform", which was exposed to investigation and visits recently.

So the question is, since I know that the penalty is not equal, how did the original punishment decision approved layer by layer? Have you adopted compensation measures for the fined merchants in the past year? If it was not attracted the attention of the inspection team, would it be left ...

There is no trivial matter for food safety, and punishment or even increased penalties for illegal operators is nothing wrong with the law and reason, but the premise is that law enforcement must be met, and crimes must be criminal.

According to reports, the local law enforcement department was punished by the sampling test for one month, and the remaining 5 pounds of celery at the time had been sold out.

This is also the place where the law enforcement is criticized: if the celery quality inspection is not qualified, why not recall the as soon as possible, so as to minimize the possible harm? Why not check all aspects of market chains such as the source and suppliers in time, and find out the root cause of the unqualified? Why should we be dragged until one month before a severe punishment? Based on this, many netizens directly pointed out that the local law enforcement agencies "fined only for fines" and "fines are really revenue."

A series of data that followed seemed to prove the point of view of netizens. It is understood that since 2021, more than 50 penalties for small and micro market entities have fined 21 of more than 50,000 yuan, and the values ​​involved are only dozens or hundreds of yuan.

It is undeniable that the vendor's illegal operation should indeed be punished, and no one can get rid of it. However, as the person in charge of the local market regulatory authorities said, before the punishment or punishment, it should take measures, correction, criticism, education and other measures to urge its compliance operations. This is a reasonable law enforcement process.

At this point, there are still doubts in the hearts of everyone: If it wasn't for this inspection, would the local law enforcement department realize their problems, and would there be more punishment? Will those losses of over -punishment be returned to the merchants? Will those law enforcers who are not punished? People are still waiting for the subsequent survey results.
