Yesterday, the newspaper La Verdad echoed the complaints of residents of Pozo Estrecho and Miranda before the new wave of robberies that is being suffered in this area of ​​Campo de Cartagena.
Theft has happened in the homes of these populations, country houses and also in agricultural buildings.
After these events, the councilor of MC Cartagena, Francisco Calderón, regretted that "as we announced in the plenary session of last August the beginning of the period of agricultural plantations has caused a rebound of criminal activity in our rural area without even the mayor, or the state administration, have implemented any of the measures that we have promoted in our training to solve this serious security problem. "
Calderón recalled the various initiatives presented by MC in plenary session during the current legislature, the last of them last August, demanding a greater number of members of the State Security Forces and Corps in the face of citizen insecurity in the municipality.
Thus, on August 30, the municipal groups endorsed a motion of MC for the plenary session of the City of Cartagena to urge the State Administration and empower its mayor to process the creation of a main post of the Civil Guard in the barracks of Cartagena or, where appropriate, in El Albujón;
the extension of the area of ​​influence of the National Police to towns near the urban nucleus of Cartagena, as well as the territorial reorganization of the area of ​​influence of the El Albujón and Cartagena barracks.
"We do not know anything about it, we have not promoted any specific measure, nor do we know of any management by the socialist government of Castejón to tackle this problem." We can not wait any longer for the Guardia Civil barracks in Cartagena to be designated as the main post. Unfortunately, events have proved us right, "said Francisco Calderón.
The Cartagena councilman has demanded that Ana Belén Castejón "attend the mandate of the Plenary and, above all, the just claims of the neighbors and involve, at one time, in the implementation of solutions to the lack of security in the municipality. Soon, we hope you will meet, as soon as possible, with the local representatives to offer them the explanations they deserve. "
"This is a good time, with the PSOE in the state government and with Diego Conesa in full election campaign, to verify the real weight of the mayor in his party. We wish, for the good of Cartagena, that is greater than what Appears ", the mayor has concluded.
The designation of the headquarters of the Civil Guard of Cartagena as main position would entail an increase in the number of troops, since the three areas of competence: Complaints, Investigation and Public Safety would be equipped with their corresponding official commands, non-commissioned officers and agents.
