“Zero masks, zero healthy distance, zero surveillance by authorities, of course, this could result in massive infections. This is how it is when the irresponsible puppet of Daniel Gutiérrez Gutiérrez; Mr. Abel García, the man does not even know why he is municipal president ”, this was posted on the Sierra Sur Unidos Facebook profile.
On the social network, there are various comments, some in favor and others against the event, some point out, “Sierra Sur Unidos everyone is responsible for their health, no one is forced to attend, where are you from? Because you should know that it is in accordance with our uses and customs, the people rule and if we want to party we do it”.
