The security forces had warned: the system intended to prevent acts of looting in the areas most affected by the Valencia tragedy would not only be maintained, but intensified. The proof is that The number of prisoners is only increasing. At the time of writing this information, there were 64, including fifty carried out by the National Police and fourteen by the Civil Guard.
As ABC has previously reported, the human misery of these individuals even led them to loot vehicles that had to be abandoned by their owners to avoid being swallowed up by water. Four of these individuals were arrested by the Police, who also brought to justice five other people for the looting of a jewelry store at the Bionaire shopping center in Aldaya.
The prosecution ordered the unconditional imprisonment of all those arrested, and the judges seem to want to follow this criterion. They are accused alternately of theft or robbery, depending on the circumstances. The sorrows, three to five years of diploma maximumThis is what the public prosecutor will ask.
It is necessary to emphasize the difficulties presented by a device of this type, because the affected area is very large, road communications are very precarious, so that there are still points which we have not been able to access, and the criminals take advantage of any loopholes to sneak into stores, supermarkets and homes. Furthermore, a good portion of resources must continue to be devoted to supporting citizens.
The security forces of the Valencian Community are deployed to the maximum of their capacities and with all the material means available, but it is still very difficult for them to reach all the places where they are needed, which discourages an exhausted and desperate population. for his situation.
Tension rises in the most affected areas
Tension is increasing in the most affected areas and it is essential that all affected citizens feel the presence of the State very close so that tempers do not boil over. Certain hoaxes spread last night on social networks, according to which there was an attack on an armory, don’t help anything either, especially since in the same message The population was encouraged to be heavily armed to avoid attacks.
The scale of the disaster makes any device small, although it is also true that there must be effective coordination so that all resources are used to their maximum capacity. The police unions and Civil Guard associations, undoubtedly with the best intentions in the world, are asking to be able to participate in the operation with the means at their disposal. But experts argue that resources should only be mobilized by decision of those responsible for the crisis coordination center, who are the only ones who have complete information to make the most correct decisions.
We are still in the first stage of a crisis which will last several weeks and which will require continuous replacement of the different teams – military, security forces, civil protection, etc. – so that it does not diminish in any way. time. This will require mobilizing ever more resources, but always under the coordination of those responsible for this gigantic operation.
