The residents of Tinajo have expressed their "discontent" after what happened at the Los Dolores festival on Saturday night in Mancha Blanca. It was the various incidents that occurred during the night, such as "inappropriate public behavior, minor disturbances and situations that threatened the tranquility of the community," that "outraged" them, the residents emphasize.

"What was initially promoted as a celebration for the family quickly became a worrying scenario, where people under the influence of alcohol and drugs offered a negative image of the municipality," the citizens complain.

In a statement that they have sent to the mayor Jesús Machín, the residents have strongly expressed their opposition to the 'Water Festival' organized by Machín for the festivities. According to them, the festival "lacked the necessary planning and security measures," they state.

In the text sent to the mayor, they make a call to "responsibility" and "demand that appropriate measures be taken" to prevent similar events from "negatively affecting the image of the municipality in the future." After contacting Machín, they expect "a public apology and a solid commitment" that guarantees that future events that are held are "planned and executed with greater care and consideration for the safety and reputation of Tinajo."

A dance in the rain that has gone viral

The most noteworthy thing of the night, which has gone viral on social media, has been "the exhibitionism of an individual," as the residents point out. A crime punishable by imprisonment of six months to one year or a fine of 12 to 24 months in Spain. According to the residents, the man left a "worrying scenario" by dancing in the rain and ending up completely naked among the crowd.

As can be seen in the images, the man appears lying on the ground playing with the water and dancing while those present encourage him and take out their mobiles to capture the moment. After marking some dance steps, the citizen is completely naked before the eyes of all the attendees.
