Collaboration between governments to address insecurity
A recent meeting in Barcelona highlighted the growing concern about insecurity in Catalonia, with the presence of the Minister of Justice, the President of the Generalitat, and other local authorities. The aim was to coordinate efforts between the different administrations to jointly address what has been described as an urgent problem.
A change of discourse in security policy
The political landscape has changed significantly, moving from a debate about perceptions to a more tangible approach involving increased police presence and a review of the penal code. This shift has become a central issue on the political agenda, reflecting the growing concerns of citizens.
The voice of legal professionals
Experts such as Jesús Sánchez García, dean of the Barcelona Bar Association, have expressed their support for the new approach, noting that it is the first time in decades that politicians seem committed to citizen safety.
Alarming data on multiple recidivism
The Minister of Justice presented data that reveals a worrying reality: 487 individuals have committed a total of 6,169 crimes in the last year. This figure highlights the magnitude of the problem and the need for an effective and coordinated response.
The measures announced by the Government
The meeting resulted in clear commitments from the central government, which includes the creation of five additional courts in Barcelona, bringing the total to 33. This decision seeks to lighten the burden on the judicial system and improve efficiency in the resolution of cases.
Access to technology for better coordination
Another highlight was the incorporation of the Siraj software, which will allow the Guàrdia Urbana to access information on multiple repeat offenders. This tool will facilitate police work and promote closer collaboration between security forces.
An uncertain but hopeful future
With these initiatives, Catalonia finds itself at a decisive moment in facing the challenge of insecurity. Collaboration between different levels of government, as well as the commitment of civil society, will be key to transforming promises into realities that improve the security of all citizens.
