Canarian Coalition (CC) denounced yesterday “another new episode of acts of vandalism in the municipality”, a situation that “is not new” and that occurred during the eve of Halloween. The nationalists assure that “many acts of vandalism were committed throughout the municipality with a disastrous result for homeowners, vehicles and premises.”
CC affirms that “many neighbors” told them that their cars and houses “suffered considerable damage, such as broken windows, rear-view mirrors, punctured tires and facades at which they threw eggs and stones.” Something that occurred “due to the impossibility of the Local Police and the Civil Guard could intervene, because there was hardly a couple of troops for the entire municipality, that is, for more than 20,000 inhabitants.
For Isoran nationalists, it is striking “that most of the destruction occurred in San Juan beach, where more than 10 vehicles suffered various damages and many houses woke up with their facades full of egg remains. They are struck by the fact that “many of the events occurred in the area where a parking lot is planned to be set up when work begins on the second phase of the Avenue”, a fact that, in their opinion, causes “a great deal of concern among the population”.
This situation “confirms that security for the PSOE of Guia de Isora is not a priority issue. It is evident, once again, that the damage and insecurity that constantly occurs in the municipality does not represent a problem for the local government group, but it is for the neighbors and residents.
While the municipal government kept silent yesterday, for CC “the defenselessness to which an entire municipality is subjected due to the null citizen security policy by those who have the responsibility to ensure the integrity of all is intolerable.”
complicit silence
CC is “powerfully struck” by what it defines as “the complicit silence of the mayor”, who “does absolutely nothing since a single local police couple is unable to attend, for a whole night, to so many criminal acts in such a dispersed municipality.
Complaints from the Canary Coalition about the need to increase the workforce of the Local Police date back years, as well as the demand for a greater number of Civil Guard corps. «We have requested a permanent office of the Local Police on the coast with the necessary human and material resources. However, the PSOE of Guía de Isora continues to do nothing, continues without convening enough places and does not require a greater number of civil guards, being their competence, ”says CC.
In fact, the police officers themselves, through the SPPLB union formation in the Canary Islands, have shown their concern about the situation in which they find themselves. The union goes so far as to affirm that it has requested in writing numerous meetings with the City Council to seek a solution to this problem, “never receiving any response from municipal officials. The problems that the staff accuses go through the surprising changes of service without any explanation, or the lack of agents to cover with solvency 24 hours a day.
