The Councilor for Social Services and Social Mediation, Carmen Martín del Amor, met with a team of senior officials of the Intelligence Center against Terrorism and Organized Crime (CITCO), belonging to the Ministry of Interior, to initiate collaborative strategies To improve coexistence in the municipality.
The group from the ministry has been headed by the head of Strategic and Prospective, José Luís Serrano, who has been accompanied by the heads of Radicalization, Natalia Martinez and María Jesús Belloch.
In this day's work, aspects related to the prevention of radical behaviors and attitudes with violent components, which require specific social intervention aimed at mitigating negative effects on citizen coexistence, have been addressed.
After a pooling of characteristics and peculiarities of our municipality, rich in diversity and socio-cultural plurality, CITCO's technical team has presented the National Strategic Plan to Combat Violent Radicalization, which is framed in the European Strategies and National of Prevention of Conflicts by radicalism.
In addition, proposals have been made for the creation of local groups to combat Violent Radicality, in the image of the national group that coordinates all actions in this area.
The mayor of Social Services, Carmen Martín, explained that "both the National Plan that we have presented and the proposal to create these local groups has a social objective.
Its mission is aimed at detecting foci that can generate violent attitudes and violent behavior in different groups of the citizenry, intervene for its control and eradication and thus achieve the normalization of coexistence.
It is worth remembering the importance of the Cartagena municipality in this matter, which has been a pioneer in many actions aimed at improving citizens' coexistence from peace and participatory democracy, such as the management of intercultural diversity, the Antirrumores Strategy, membership in the Network European and Spanish Intercultural Cities, work on religious pluralism or community intervention programs.
Finally, the CITCO delegation has offered to the Councilor for Social Services the possibility of developing training actions in this area, promoted by this body and addressed to the City Council staff.
They also make available to the local government their advisory service to improve actions aimed at fostering coexistence, avoiding radicalization and violent behavior.
This new strategy of cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior will contribute to reinforce social policies in the municipality of Cartagena.
