Argument at Deiland Shopping Center after wearing the mask down

Two women have starred in a video, which is circulating on social networks, in which they rebuke the security guard of the Deiland Shopping Center, after he urged one of them to raise her mask.

In the images, one of the women acknowledges that she was wearing the mask below her nose and accuses the security guard and another man of "coercion". And it is that she maintains that she does not have to wear the mask inside the shopping center if she maintains a safe distance. "There is no one, it is empty, and these two people come to tell me to put the mask on my nose, when I am keeping two meters away," she says. 

"It is mandatory," insists the security guard, who also reminds her that Lanzarote is at level 4 of health alert. 

"When a distance of two meters can be maintained, I am not obliged to use it," insists the woman, who then argues the existence of a respiratory problem for not wearing it. However, when the guard demands a medical certificate, she refuses to give it to him. "I don't have to give you a medical certificate, because that is something personal," she replies. "You are not a judge or a doctor," the other woman is heard saying. 

"If you have a problem, call your colleagues. They are not going to be harassing me, neither you, nor you, turn around and leave me alone, because if not I am going to call the Civil Guard," the protagonist tells the security guard, whom she also threatens to make the images public on social networks. "Do you know how many followers I have, you're going to become famous, my boy," the woman says. 

Finally, the security guard decides to abandon the discussion, while the two women continue to rebuke him and accuse him of "breaking the laws."
