forever!
And I know for years that it is forbidden but always full hospitals make more patrol cars go around that day that there are no firecrackers but rather that we locals at 16pm have to stay at home to avoid being hit that day you don't see a patrol car
We want the curfew
The mayor's ordinance is an important step towards ensuring safety during the holidays. However, there are concerns about how these restrictions will be enforced and whether they will be respected by residents and tourists. The situation is complex.
