The mayor later attempted to downplay the momentarily embarrassing incident, insisting that he was not, actually, tied down.
A mayor of Frontera Comapala, a town in Mexico, was briefly detained by local residents who were none too thrilled by the sorry state of the water system in the area.
According to the Daily Mail, the incident occurred on Monday as the mayor, Oscar Ramirez, was presenting a “series of public projects” that had been previously promised to the locals.
At that time, representatives of some 11 communes that comprise the city confronted Ramirez, and photos emerged online showing him tied to a tree during the encounter.
Ramirez reportedly sought to downplay the incident, insisting that he was not, actually, restrained with rope against the trunk of a tree.
