- "When an advanced society like ours is not capable of redirecting youth leisure towards healthier models that move away from alcohol and bottles, something is failing and loudly calls for decisive intervention," said Cs Councilor, Ana Rama.

On the occasion of the worrying information that has been published in recent weeks on various altercations in areas that have been operating for years as a meeting point for young people to drink alcohol during the weekends and on holidays, the Councilor for Citizens, Ana Rama, recalled that "on April 28, 2016 we set up a Pact Night Table with the hope of finding solutions to a problem of social significance such as the consumption of alcohol on public roads and by minors."

"After several meetings, the last one in March of 2017 this Table turned out to be manifestly ineffective to eradicate this problem", lamented the orange mayor that has indicated in relation to the aggressions that took place a few weeks ago and in which several minors were involved that "when an advanced society such as ours is not capable of redirecting youth leisure towards healthier models that move away from alcohol and bottles, something is failing and cries out for decisive intervention".

With regard to the Pact for the Night, the councilor of the orange formation thinks that it must return to meet, but with the commitment to be effective and productive, with short and medium term objectives, and has remembered that as an answer to the problems that there were poured, the INTEMSA program (Healthy Time Initiatives) was presented in April 2017, which has proved to be insufficient, "a noble attempt that without continuity can not bear fruit, it is a one-day flower, and it requires readjusting its parameters to push with more decision to our youth towards healthy and positive leisure alternatives ".

In the opinion of Ana Rama, we have before us a complex problem that requires an intervention or a plan of shock at several levels, "when in the so-called botelleos we continue to find minors, family control is also failing, and from the City Council we can do many things to advise children and parents. "

"We will have to look at those municipalities that have managed to reduce this phenomenon considerably and learn from their experience," added Rama.

On the part of the City Council, "we consider that in our municipal ordinance there is still a lot of room to update it, harden it, and revise it, a regulation that is more than 14 years old and requires an adaptation to the dark times that are running, I also believe that with the necessary Expansion of the staff of our Local Police can intensify control ", has proposed the councilor of Cs who believes that the City" can not be satisfied with running specific leisure programs and whose results are not evaluated to redirect it if necessary, or allow bottles while they do not bother because in the end we will have to regret a misfortune, and very close we were to suffer it at the beginning of February ".
