THE DEBATE

This chapel is very famous in the municipality, it is there that every year st. Jude meets hundreds of people who are fervent devotees of this saint to thank some favors received. All year round it is visited and can not lack candles and flowers as well as the music that some believers carry any day of the year. This act has caused outrage among the multitude of believers who have always strived to keep this place in the best condition.                For his part, the director of Public Security and Municipal Transit Alberto Castro Peña said he regretted these facts, and invited the society to report any kind of violent event that they detect in order to continue preserving the peace that is lived throughout the municipality.
