On December 24th, the morning of Christmas Eve, vandals toppled and damaged figures in the enormous nativity scene, which is installed every year in a public park.

Some of the thirty figures were toppled over and others tossed into a pool of water. Several were damaged, but municipal services are committed to rehabilitate them so that this very popular nativity scene can be admired again.
