Juan Cobo

Juan Cobo is the mayor of Santa Fe, a town in the Andalusian region of Spain, who recently defended the rights of older residents to enjoy the tradition of 'tomando el fresco' or sitting outdoors in the evening. Following a controversial police plea that inadvertently upset the elderly community, Cobo emphasized that the intention was not to restrict this cherished practice, but rather to ensure that outdoor gatherings do not disturb neighbors. He criticized sensationalized media reports and reaffirmed the town's commitment to allowing its older citizens to enjoy the fresh air without interference.
