The statue – known as the Rebecca Monument – was erected in the capital, Bogota, in 1926 as a monument to the Spanish Jews who started arriving in the Americas in the 1400s
Colombia: Woman allegedly urinating next to a religious monument
A vile woman has been caught urinating next to a religious monument.
The shocking clip shows the thoughtless woman touching the breasts of the statue before dropping her jeans and squatting beside it and urinating next to the statue in broad daylight. A pool of liquid was seen streaming away from the squatting woman, who appeared to laugh throughout.
At one point, a man rushes over to cover her up with a jacket, but she merely looked back at him while flashing a smile. She didn’t rush to pull up her underwear and ended up showing her genitals.
It happened at the Rebecca Monument in the Colombian capital Bogota on Sunday February 1. Situated in the middle of a city pond, the monument features a partially naked water carrier with a bowl and a jug.
Installed in 1926, the statue was commissioned to pay tribute to the Spanish Jews who arrived in the Americas from 1492 onwards. The Jewish community was recognised for contributing to Colombia’s development after achieving independence from Spain in 1819.
The video was posted on X where it went viral with 210,000 views and hundreds of comments, as reported by What’s The Jam. One local fumed: “Total lack of education and culture.” Maria said: “What a disgusting scene, how disrespectful.” Doris added: “How sad to see what we’ve become, nobody cares about anything anymore.”
Last year, locals in Cambodia became enraged after influencers started using their ancient temple for videos. The fad saw video creators strap recording equipment to themselves or convince a crony to film them as they sprinted through Angkor Wat in Cambodia – the largest religious structure in the world, and one which was built 900 years ago.
They made their way through the UNESCO World Heritage site in as quick a time as possible, claiming it’s ‘Temple Run in real life’. For those who don’t spend too much time playing phone games, Temple Run is an Imagini Studios app which lets gamers run through ancient relics and away from a pursuing creature. It had a huge surge in popularity in the weeks following its launch in 2013. Conservationist Simon Warrack is concerned about possible damage caused to Angkor Wat thanks to the trend and has told South China Morning Post that the behaviour may be seen as culturally insensitive.
