Faced with the “enormous” citizen insecurity that we are experiencing in El Carpio de Tajo (Toledo) and in the Torrijos region, Mayor Diego Martín sent a letter to the subdelegate of the government in Toledo, Carlos Ángel Devia, to whom calls for an increase in Civil Guard personnel in your municipality and throughout the territory.
“From the Town Hall of El Carpio de Tajo, we are aware and sensitive to the citizen security problem what we face, the suffering constant theft with force and violencein inhabited houses, in businesses, vehicle theft or public wiring. The region’s small municipalities cannot continue to endure these types of acts which threaten the safety of all our neighbors. For this reason, we understand that it is necessary to articulate a greater presence and means of the forces and state security organs,” he states in his letter.
According to Martín, the fact of not having enough agents generates a feeling of insecurity among neighbors “who do not have a place nearby to file complaints for the crimes of which they have been victims, since the barracks are often located, closed to the public, which generates false crime statistics.
For the mayor of El Carpio, all these crimes generate “a great social alarm“, entirely justified, because in the face of increasing crime, we do not see a corresponding increase in the resources of the state security forces and organs” and adds that reporting an incident and finding it impossible to reach the scene of the events by a patrol or with a delay of several hours, “generates not only insecurity among citizens, but even a feeling of impunity among criminals, which leads them to increase criminal activity.
A few days ago, the mayor of La Puebla de Montalbán, Soledad De Frutos, in front of the “huge wave of thefts”asked the government delegate in Castile-La Mancha, Milagros Tolón, to increase the number of members of the Civil Guard in the municipality. And from the city council they have reiterated their firm desire to collaborate in whatever is necessary.
