Mos, October 7, 2024.- The deputy delegate of the Government in Pontevedra, Abel Losada, presided together with the mayor, Clara Arévalo, the Xunta Local de Seguridad de Mos, in which he realized the imminent incorporation of this City Council to the VioGén network for the protection of women victims of gender violence. The accession to the previous protocol will be signed at an event in the Government Subdelegation next Thursday.
The deputy delegate congratulated the mayor for the step of joining the VioGen in a Security Board in which members of the Corporation, municipal personnel, commanders of the Civil Guard and the Local Police, and the head of the Unit Against Violence on Women of the Government Subdelegation, María José Rodríguez, also took part. To enter VioGén it is necessary to have a minimum of 4 local police officers. Mos thus becomes the 18th municipality in the province to join.
The incorporation of Mos implies that the Local Police will go on to collaborate with the Civil Guard in the monitoring and protection of victims. The municipal body will have responsibility only in cases of low or unappreciated risk that are determined in the protocol of collaboration between the two bodies, once the agreement has been signed with the Secretary of State for Security of the Ministry of the Interior.
In the Local Xunta he realized that in this municipality there are 34 active cases, with 12 victims of unappreciated risk, 20 with low risk and 2 with medium risk. There are none with high or extreme risk.
In addition, it was reported that Mos was responsible this year for 6,173 euros of the State Pact of Gender Violence, but it will only enter 2,039 euros, since the remaining amount was deducted in the resolution published by the Ministry of Equality for having left Mos without justifying more than 4,000 euros of those assigned in the previous year. The State Pact stipulates that the funds that the municipalities do not justify pass to the remnants that are distributed among those that do justify 100% of their allocation.
For its part, the Civil Guard reported that Mos is a “safe town hall”, as evidenced by the fact that the crime rate is 30.31 delicts per thousand inhabitants, well below the national average, which is 39.16 euros. The statistics for the past year indicate, in fact, a decrease of 3.02% with respect to the same period last year.
Finally, an account was given of the Master Plan for Coexistence in Educational Centers, in which the Civil Guard offered 29 informative talks to 1,153 students of the municipality and 89 teachers. The Government Subdelegation stressed that a pioneering commitment is being made to bring these training activities also to the group of mothers and fathers. With this respect, the Subdelegation of the Government in Pontevedra already organized an information meeting with ANPA from the whole province and, as a result, a specific form was created so that these associations can request specific talks of the Master Plan for mothers and fathers. The initiative is already yielding results at the beginning of the school year. Abel Losada asked the City Council to collaborate by disseminating the existence of this program from the Department of Education and from the City Hall itself.
