A noche of violence that shakes the community
The quiet city of Terrassa has been shaken by a series of violent events that have left the community as alert. The shooting occurred on Saturday night, where a man lost his life, has been followed by another incident at dawn, which has left a wounded one. Both events, starring individuals from the Dominican community, have been interpreted as a adjustment of accounts, reflecting a worrying escalation of violence.
The reaction of the police officers and the voice of the neighbors
Local police officers and Mossos d’Esquadra have expressed their outrage at the lack of resources and support by the authorities. In public messages, they said that the current situation is not sustainable and requested more cash, especially during the weekends. The police union has directly criticized the mayor, Jordi Ballart, for his absence in critical moments, questioning his dedication to office.
A popular cry against insecurity
The reaction of the community has been immediate. Frustrated neighbors have flooded social media with testimonies and complaints about the growing insecurity that affects them in their daily lives. Many say that the situation has reached an unsustainable point and require decided actions from the City Council. The perception of insecurity has been reinforced by recent incidents that seem to indicate a war between criminal groups.
Political controversy and complaints
Political parties like Vox have entered the scene, alerting to a possible ‘narcos war’ in the city. Its local leader, Alicia Tomàs, has accused the PSC of fostering crime with policies that, according to her, have worsened the situation. In this context, the figure of the mayor has been criticized not only for his management, but also for his responses to the accusations of racism he has received from neighbors who express his concern.
A response from the municipal government
The City Council, on the other hand, has not issued public statements on recent incidents. Previously, the municipal government had rejected the initiatives of neighbors who wanted to organize citizen patrols, arguing that this could undermine public security. Now, with recently reported shootings, security management is in the spotlight.
Reflections on the future of Terrassa
The current situation in Terrassa proposes questions about the future of citizen security and confidence in the authorities. With a climate of increasing tension and the voices of the community asking for urgent measures, it is vital for policymakers to effectively address these concerns. The response to this crisis will not only determine the immediate well -being of the neighbors, but will also mark the direction of the city in the coming years.
