| The parliamentary spokesman, Juan José Molina, meets with the Unified Police Union and collects his claim to have more means to face the crisis migratory | The parliamentary group of Citizens is going to register a motion in the Regional Assembly urging the Ministry of the Interior to expand the current staff of the Cartagena Police Station.
This was announced by the liberal parliamentary spokesman, Juan José Molina, after holding a meeting with the representatives of the Unified Police Union (SUP) in Cartagena.
"This expansion of the workforce, which would be linked to an increase in the category of the Cartagena police station, would serve to confront the current migration crisis with guarantees," said Molina.
Currently, the Cartagena Police Station has 338 workers, of which 192 are agents assigned to Citizen Security, "but the arrival of boats forces part of these troops to be diverted, thereby reducing the service to citizens," he explained.
the orange spokesman.Ciudadanos considers it a comparative offense that cities with a population similar to Cartagena -as is the case of Almería, Gijón or Vigo- "have almost 700 troops in their police stations with a similar criminal reality." This disparity stems from their consideration as 'provincial police stations', something that Cartagena lacks as it is not a provincial capital: “The solution is for the Cartagena Police Station to be considered type A and its catalog can be expanded of jobs ", explained Molina, who has advanced that the motion of Citizens" will go in that direction, because everything that has been achieved in recent years in terms of security is at stake, and that we could lose very quickly if there is no increase of troops ”.
