Niurka Marcos has been involved in controversy for exposing on social media an officer who fined her for not wearing a seatbelt while traveling as a co-pilot in Yucatán. Although the dancer acknowledges that the officers were doing their job, she expressed her annoyance at the way she was treated, emphasizing the kindness she expects when being approached by authorities.
'I know the law and know my obligations, and I like to fulfill my obligations to be able to claim my rights, but those who enforce the law must also come with kindness,' stated Niurka Marcos. The controversy erupted when the artist pointed out that she had never been fined for that infraction before, to which the officer replied that, despite that, the lack of seatbelt usage is punishable.
Niurka Marcos's reaction sparked a debate among her followers and internet users, who expressed divided opinions. Some praised the police officer's attitude and reminded the importance of complying with traffic regulations, while others defended the Cuban vedette.
The situation has once again called into question Niurka Marcos's figure as a public figure and her relationship with societal norms. Despite the controversy, the dancer has stated that she will pay the imposed fine and that she will not forget to wear her seatbelt in the future.
