Rome, Italy is set to hold mayoral elections next month, in which none other than the wild boar has emerged as a key issue.
A herd of wild boars appears on a road in Rome's Monte Mario and roams freely between vehicles.
This is a video uploaded to SNS on the 22nd. Recently, the appearance of wild boar in Rome has increased rapidly.
They appear in front of the school, making parents and children anxious, and sometimes following the residents. Local experts pointed to Rome's chronic garbage problem as the cause of the outbreak of wild boars.
The lack of landfills and backward collection systems have built up trash on the streets, so wild animals are no longer looking for food in the forest, but rather easily scouring the city's trash cans for food.
Some analysts analyzed that as the number of people and cars on the streets decreased due to Corona 19, wild animals came out to the city and tried to expand their territory.
As residents' anxiety grows, the issue of wild boar infestation has emerged as a key issue in the mayoral election in Rome early next month.
