The Legislature of Córdoba will consider next week a bill seeking to permanently ban the activity of window washers throughout the province. The initiative aims to put an end to practices that affect road safety and tranquility in the main urban centers. The discussion will take place on Tuesday, August 12 in the Security Committee, along with other complementary measures.
If the proposal doesn't succeed, a situation that exposes drivers and pedestrians to conflicts and risks in public spaces will continue unchecked. The bill also proposes the regulation of the activity of car minders known as "naranjitas" in Córdoba city. Both practices have been identified as recurring sources of tension and violent incidents.
The initiative also includes measures for social reintegration and addressing addiction problems among the affected groups. It also seeks for the State to take an active role in providing job alternatives and support programs. The ultimate goal is to eradicate the presence of these activities that currently operate without regulation or effective control.
