Malaga city council has decided to stop using controversial anti-wax liquid before Easter Week processions this year.

The product, which workers from the Limasam municipal cleaning company usually apply before every procession, has generated a lot of debate over the past couple of years due to its slippery effects.

"We will no longer be spraying the liquid before processions. There will be no more slips or stains on the robes," councillor for festivities Teresa Porras has said.

According to Porras, the analyses carried out in recent months to find the formula for a protective layer that will be applied twice during Easter Week along the main pedestrian streets of the city centre have yielded optimal results.
