The mayor is now facing complaints from many quarters. Families with children were in attendance at the event in the town square, and one mother tells the website the choice of entertainment was "vulgar". The local ombudsman says the event cost 14m pesos ($5,300; £3,500), cash he says would have been better spent on the town's pressing social needs. And the Colombian Institute of Social Welfare has called for an investigation over whether having children at the event was a violation of the country's Code of Childhood and Adolescence, according to the El Espectador news website
