The government delegate in Cantabria, Pedro Casares Hontañón, has highlighted the effective prevention work of the Civil Guard to put an end to the illegal party in the Roiz quarry, in the municipality of Valdáliga.
Casares praised the extraordinary work done by the Civil Guard, in the access and exit controls to the quarry, “which allowed only 300 people to be evicted, and not thousands of people, as has happened with other illegal parties in other places of Spain.”
“The work carried out by the Civil Guard from the first moment has avoided that there were many more vehicles and people who accessed the quarry and finally we were talking about just over 300 people who have concentrated,” he said.
In this regard, he has sincerely thanked the work done by the Civil Guard in Cantabria, which has carried out checks on all the vehicles that were leaving and has imposed 28 sanctions for testing positive in drugs and one in alcohol, during the five days that the device has lasted.
The government delegate in Cantabria made these statements at the Menéndez Pelayo International University (UIMP) before attending the conference of the Secretary of State for Energy, Joan Groizard, together with the president of the Ecological Transition Commission, Cristina Narbona, on 'the new dynamics of the ecological transition'.
The government delegate wanted to send a strong message to anyone who intends to organize such an illegal event. “The Civil Guard, the State Security Forces and Corps, will act from the first moment, as in this case, which has allowed us to maintain citizen security and we trust that this will not happen again.”
“Today everyone knows that they are willing to throw an illegal party in Cantabria that we are going to act from the first moment,” he said.
In this regard, Casares said that he “understands the concern of the mayor of Valdáliga or any mayor of Cantabria who is in such a situation”.
“For the future we will also work on the proposal made by the Civil Guard, to sanction the organizers, so that this event, an illegal party of this type, does not happen again,” said Casares.
Congratulation Antonio Orantos
On the other hand, the government delegate has taken advantage of his first public statements following the publication in the Official State Gazette (BOE) of the appointment of Antonio Orantos as Brigadier General of the Civil Guard to publicly congratulate him.
“He has been promoted to Brigadier General for his knowledge, merits and trajectory, which he has demonstrated during the more than three years he has been in charge of the Civil Guard in Cantabria,” said Casares, pointing out his “tireless work and that vocation of public service.”
Casares told him that “in his new destination he can count on the loyal collaboration of the Government of Spain to guarantee citizen security”.
Finally, the government delegate, Pedro Casares, said that he is convinced that with the new provisional head of the Civil Guard in Cantabria, Julio Postigo, “we will be able to continue working in that line of collaboration that we have undertaken and that this Government Delegation has always had with the Civil Guard, which makes Cantabria one of the safest autonomous communities in Spain”, concluded Casares.
