The number of municipalities in the province of Zaragoza that are committed to the VioGén system in Aragón continues to grow. If last week it was the Borja City Council that signed the operational protocol prior to the final accession, today it has been the Puebla de Alfindén that has formalized its interest to be part of the network of municipalities that make up VioGén in Aragón. This service is part of the State Secretariat for Security of the Ministry of the Interior and is responsible for the comprehensive monitoring of cases of gender violence.
The deputy delegate of the Government of Spain in Zaragoza, Noelia Herrero, has moved this morning to La Puebla 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, Pilar Villanueva, 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.
At the moment there are 18 Aragonese municipalities adhered to this system (20 when Borja and La Puebla de Alfindén are officially added), the majority corresponding to the province of Zaragoza. In Spain, they are around 800.
