Delay in transfer of powers
Núria Parlon, Interior Minister, said that the integration of security powers into ports and airports by the Mossos d’Esquadra would not occur as soon as expected. In an interview with La Vanguardia, he mentioned that this transition will be affected by a bill in process, and that legislative approval will provide greater legal certainty to prevent possible challenges.
Financial support for small municipalities
The Ministry has announced the creation of a line of subsidies aimed at helping small locations and those without Local Police to install video surveillance systems and enrollment control. The available budget for these aid has not yet been specified, which will be distributed in two different calls.
Hardship of drug trafficking penalties
Parlon has been in favor of reviewing sanctions imposed by marijuana traffic, with the aim of aligning them with the regulations of other European countries. He emphasized that this is an initiative that must be promoted by the congress, and emphasized that the lower penalties could make Spain an attractive destination for organized crime.
Strategies against multi -incidence
The counselor also commented on the measures implemented to combat multi -incidence, including specific police plans and the creation of new courts. He said that, from the perspective of the security forces, they are already beginning to see the effects of these actions. “The message we send is clear: crime in Catalonia will not be a simple task,” he said.
Preparations for the arrival of tourism
Parlon has warned of the need to maintain security operations during the summer, within the framework of the Kanpai Plan. Although he recognizes the potential increase in crimes with the arrival of tourists, such as thefts and robberies with violence, he hopes that after the summer season they can be evaluated if improvements are being made in reducing these facts.
