Zaragoza.- The Borja City Council (Zaragoza) is closer to being part of the network of municipalities that make up the VioGén service in Aragón, which is responsible for comprehensive monitoring of cases of gender violence and which depends on the Secretary of State for Security of the Ministry of the Interior.
The deputy delegate of the Government of Spain in Zaragoza, Noelia Herrero, has today moved to the Borjana town to co-chair a local security board in which the signing of the operational protocol has been carried out that will culminate in the incorporation of the staff of the Local Police into this police system aimed at monitoring and protecting victims of gender violence, as well as their daughters and sons, throughout Spanish territory. The document has been signed by the mayor of the municipality, Eduardo Arilla, and the head of the Civil Guard Command of Zaragoza, Lieutenant Colonel Raúl Castillo.
The province of Zaragoza currently has 1,758 cases with active protection, of which 1,256 are located in the capital. Currently, of the 18 municipalities attached to the VioGén system (19 when Borja is incorporated) thirteen will be from the province of Zaragoza (La Almunia de Doña Godina, Calatayud, Caspe, Cuarte de Huerva, Épila, Pedrola, Pinseque,Tarazona, Tauste, Utebo, Villanueva de Gállego and Zuera). In Huesca there are five (Barbastro, Binéfar, Fraga, Huesca and Jaca) and in Teruel, one (Alcañiz).
Noelia Herrero thanked the Borjano city council and its Local Police for their willingness to collaborate with the Security Forces and Corps and assured that the actions will continue to be intensified “to incorporate all local police into this system and reinforce the work of the National Police and the Civil Guard in all corners of Aragón.” Because, he recalled, “the fight against this social scourge is a task for all, a priority of the Government and a matter of State.”
