The mayor of the city, José López, the deputy mayor, Ana Belén Castejón, as well as representatives of the different municipal groups such as Antonio Calderón, Esperanza Nieto and Álvaro Valdés of the Popular Party were present in this minute of silence;
Manuel Padín and Ana Rama de Ciudadanos;
And Pilar Marcos de Cartagena Yes You Can.
The Department of Equality, directed by David Martinez, has issued a statement in which adds to the pain of the victims and the demand for the cessation of gender violence in which the mayor requires a State Pact against Violence against Women:
"The Councilor for Equality, David Martinez, and the workers of this service have shown their revulsion against the last killings chauvinic that have occurred this weekend.
For this reason, the council considers that it is already inexcusable to reach a State Pact against gender violence.
"It is necessary to adopt without delay the necessary policies to prevent, punish and eradicate gender-based violence," said Councilman David Martinez.
Violence against women undermines or nullifies human rights and fundamental freedoms, "and constitutes discrimination," according to the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).
From the council remember that women exhaust them live in the mirage of equality.
"It is not a question of achieving a formal equality, which is the one that appears in the treaties, the Constitution or the laws. We must achieve real equality, which is really necessary to achieve social transformation," Martinez said.
The mayor explained that from the council will continue to work as before with the attention to women victims of gender violence in the CAVI service, as well as prevention and awareness campaigns, and educational campaigns in schools and institutes.
"It is very important to raise awareness among our youth and train them to avoid reproducing macho behavior," said the mayor.
