After the spectacular font macro operation this Wednesday at Three thousand houses of Seville, with a deployment of more than 300 agents and 50 patrols after the filming with weapons of war Last Saturday, the mayor of Seville, José Luis Sanz, presented the main lines of action of the plan that the Town Hall wishes to achieve in the neighborhood.
First, the first mayor declared that he was going to demand from the central government a “raid program” in the Three Thousand. THE macro raid Wednesday, led by the National Police, concluded with more than a dozen detainees after 16 home searches during which weapons and drugs were also seized. The second point to address is a change of urban planning criteria and analyze “which blocks are empty to throw away” and instead “regenerate” the area with “many green spaces”, normally absent in neighborhoods of this type.
Sanz said this in an interview with Cope before the meeting he held this Thursday with the government subdelegate in Seville, Francisco Toscano, to address the citizen security problem in Polígono Sur after Saturday’s shooting, sparked by the attempted theft of a shipment of marijuana between clans rivals in the drug trade. In this case, the Caracoleños and Naranjeros attempted to settle scores and show their gun arsenal. Shards of AK-47 and the sky lit up with tracer bullets.
While the government fears a “rematch” Among the criminal organizations involved in the shooting, police quickly took control of the neighborhood, searching streets and homes.
“The sad thing is that it takes a shooting like the one the other day, with weapons of war, for this type of action to take place. This type of operations by Home office “They should be much more frequent,” Sanz lamented.
Furthermore, the mayor stressed that “the marijuana plantations “They have spread a lot” in the Tres Mil and “surprisingly” the Ministry of the Interior “has been looking the other way for a long time”.
“We have to enter the schools”
Regarding the measures deployed by the Seville City Council in the Polígono Sur, the first mayor highlighted social policies, employment plans and information campaigns in schools. “In these neighborhoods we must intervene in schools, attack the problem at its source and coordinate the necessary housing policies,” he stressed.
After the macro-raid this Wednesday, the Government sub-delegate also underlined in this sense: “If they don’t apply housing policies, town planning, employment actions and a task fully accomplished, in a few months we will talk again about an unfortunate event and will return to square one“.
In this context, the mayor insisted on modifying “certain urban planning criteria” which have made these neighborhoods “ghetto”but warns that “none of this is useful if there is no citizen security.”
“The main thing is security citizen. We must of course continue with more social policies, with more employment plans and with more housing policies, but the first thing is the security of citizens, because if this does not end up harming neighbors who do not have nothing to do with these drug clans,” he concluded.
A few weeks ago, Sanz announced that the city council would have the opinion of “international specialists” with experience in the conflict-ridden neighborhood of The Bronx of New York face “regeneration” of the South Polygonwhere the Three Thousand Homes or the Reina de los Ángeles slum are located.
