The robberies perpetrated in the church and social premises of Zarcilla de Ramos last weekend have rarefied the neighborhood climate in the area and there are already citizens threatening to take "justice by his hand", warned the councilor of this formation, Gloria Martín
The councilor of Izquierda Unida-Verdes, Gloria Martín, has once again demanded the increase of police presence in the Highlands of Lorca after the past weekend there were robberies and destruction in the social premises and in the church of Zarcilla de Ramos
The mayor of IU explained that it is an essential service to ensure the safety of the inhabitants of the area and expressed concern that the neighborhood climate is "thinning" and there are citizens threatening to take "justice by your hand", alerted
Martín said that the districts of the north of the municipality are "totally unassisted" in terms of security.
There is only one Civil Guard barracks in the deputation of Zarcilla de Ramos, open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The attention to the public is also limited to one morning per week, which means, among other things, that the neighbors of any other council that come to file a complaint are usually with the barracks closed.
The excuse is that the rest of the time the troops are providing their services on the street, when the reality is that 77% of the workforce is not covered, which translates into a couple of agents at the head of the facilities, the same They must be in charge of patrolling one of the seven towns that make up the Lorca Highlands.
Izquierda Unida has been warning for years that the gradual decrease in the number of agents and hours of citizen attention in this barracks is the previous step for their disappearance.
"While it was happening with the Government of Rajoy, the local PP remained silent," Martin recalled.
"Even if now they are protesting, we must remind them that this unfortunate situation is a consequence of the brutal policy of cuts that the PP has been practicing for years, also in terms of citizen security."
Gloria Martin has asked the current Government Delegate in the Region of Murcia, Diego Conesa, to work on the provision of more human and material resources in the barracks of the Guardia Civil de Zarcilla de Ramos to reverse the impoverished situation inherited from his predecessors in The charge.
Martín has also transferred the complaints of the neighbors regarding the scarce presence of Local Police in the area.
In that sense, he recalled that in 2007 the Popular Party closed the barracks of La Paca shortly after reaching the City Hall.
In 2014, he invested 700,000 euros in the construction of a new one in Zarcilla de Ramos, which should have a staff of ten agents, a corporal and a sergeant "that shine for their absence".
The same happens in similar infrastructures that were built in La Hoya, Purias, Almendricos and Ramonete, with an overall investment of 1.2 million euros.
"Not only has an important amount of public money been squandered in premises that are absolutely underutilized, but it also does not destine agents to patrol the area," he said.
And is that the PP has not met its commitment to allocate 41% of the staff of the Local Police Lorca districts, which translates around the 60 agents.
"We regret the permanent punishment inflicted on the residents of rural areas through the systematic reduction of public services, including those that have to do with their own safety," concluded the mayor of IU-Greens.
