Last weekend, passers-by and tourists who were in the Historic Center of Cartagena were spectators of the scandalous scene where a totally naked couple looks out onto a balcony that overlooks the street and, as if nothing, they begin to have intimacy.

We call on citizens and tourism providers so that together we set the rules of behavior in the destination”, explained Natalia Bohórquez Castilla, executive president of the Cartagena de Indias Tourism Corporation.
As a result of the controversy that has been generated on the subject, the woman involved in the scandal gave her testimony to the local newspaper The universaland spoke about what happened that night and about his opinion of the ‘exhibits of love’ in public.
The woman, identified as Emily Barros, 22, in the middle of the interview with the newspaper He explained that he just wanted to fulfill a sexual fantasy with the American citizen.

Love does not steal, love does not kill, love does not hurt, love is something we all do every day. I don’t understand why they get involved in these things when there are worse things in the country, there are big crimes and the Police are simply looking for where to take advantage of,” said the young woman from Santa Marta.
This fact caused outrage in all citizens, for this reason, the Council of Cartagena asked the District Administration to take measures similar to those that have been applied in other cities of the country, where the expulsion of those who carry out this type has been requested. of acts.
