Huesca.- The subdelegate of the Government in Huesca, Carlos Campo, has held a meeting with the provincial commissioner of the National Police in Huesca, Luis Fernando Ascaso, and with the lieutenant colonel head of the Civil Guard Command in Huesca, José Enrique Cordobés, to analyze the latest security data in the province. The meeting revealed that, despite a slight increase of 3% in the total number of infringements, the province of Huesca and its capital remain among the safest in Spain.
The meeting, in the framework of the periodic meetings between the Subdelegation, the Civil Guard and the National Police to coordinate the security of the province, has analyzed the data recorded by the Ministry of Interior for the first quarter of 2025. In this balance, with respect to the same period of the previous year, the significant reduction of thefts in homes, establishments and other facilities by 33%, which is 42 less than in 2024 (from 124 to 82). In the case of Huesca capital, the improvement at this point is 46% (from 26 to 14). This reduction is linked to the success of recent police operations against itinerant gangs, the incidence of which affected several neighbouring provinces.
In Huesca capital, also the result of successful police investigations, the reduction in drug trafficking by more than 62% (from 8 to 3 cases) stands out. The quarrels have decreased by 71%, going from 7 to 2. On the other hand, with 20 more thefts, there has been a 23% increase in this category, in which most of them are situations in which there are attempts to subtract objects of very little economic value.
Both in the province and in the capital, the high rate of clarification stands out, without any significant crime that may affect the sense of security of the citizens being left unanswered.
The subdelegate said that, based on the data, “sending alarming messages to the population is misleading advertising.” In this sense, he explained that, given the low incidence of some crimes, such as the theft of vehicles, “just 6 more cases throughout the province, from one year to the next, marks a high percentage increase, when the reality is that it is a typology with a very low incidence.” Campo stressed that, regardless of the statistics, “the monitoring and follow-up of all aspects that affect security in Huesca and its province is constant.”
The deputy delegate thanked the Civil Guard and the National Police “for their constant work and perfect coordination” to keep the province as one of the safest in Spain.
