Uncivil attitudes in Arrecife are repeated every day. The latest event this Wednesday, for which the Cleaning Councilor is outraged, has been the abandonment of a refrigerator full of food in the middle of Jerez street, in the Altavista neighborhood. "It hurts me to see a city like this that we try to keep clean every day," he revealed in a publication.

As can be seen in the photographs taken in the middle of the road, the refrigerator appears open and full of food inside, some thrown on the ground, and also with an unhealthy appearance. Furniture such as chairs, furniture, mattresses and a bed base have also been found next to the appliance.

In addition, Councilor Jacobo Lemes makes it clear that the means are not enough to maintain cleanliness, the attitude of each citizen is also important. "No matter how many means are put in place by the institutions, it is clear that there are people who do not know what it means to live in community, much less maintain minimal rules of coexistence," he added with irritation.

What happened has also upset users on social networks this Wednesday. "This is really going too far. More heavy-handedness," one of them commented.
