The deputy delegate of the Government in A Coruña, María Rivas, presided today with the mayor of Cambre, María Pan, the Local Xunta of Security of the municipality in which they agreed to strengthen the collaboration between the Civil Traffic Guard and the Local Police to reinforce security on the roads of the town.
María Rivas explained that the Xunta Local de Seguridad agreed to ratify the agreement between both institutions and the General Directorate of Traffic by which the Civil Traffic Guard assumes the powers of surveillance and road safety on some of the roads of municipal ownership, an exceptional measure that, as indicated by the subdelegate, can be reversed at the time when the Local Police station allows to provide this service again with guarantees.
The deputy delegate and the mayor, accompanied by representatives of the Security Forces and Bodies and the Local Police, also reviewed the security data of the municipality, “a safe city council, as evidenced by its crime rate (28 crimes per thousand inhabitants), which is more than 10 points below the average of the province and of Galicia, which is the third safest community in the State,” said Rivas.
María Rivas indicated that these data are the result of the good work and collaboration of the Security Forces and Bodies and the Local Police, which encouraged them to continue strengthening. He also highlighted the good reception of the Master Plan for School Coexistence in the city council, which promotes training talks by agents of the Civil Guard and the National Police in schools and, in the case of Cambre, hosted last year the 7 schools of the municipality. In total, a total of 56 activities were carried out in which 1,322 people participated, among students, parents and guardians and teachers. They addressed topics such as school bullying, gender violence, drug and alcohol consumption or the use of new technologies.
VioGene
The deputy delegate and the mayor of Cambre also analyzed the data provided by the victim protection system VioGén in the province of A Coruña, which currently has 2,685 active cases of gender violence. “Behind each of these cases is a woman who is a priority for the government. All the work is little to guarantee their protection,” said Rivas, who stressed that collaboration and coordination by all institutions is indispensable in the fight against gender violence.
The subdelegate stressed that Cambre is one of the 52 municipalities that has an Interinstitutional Coordination Table against Gender Violence and is also part of the VioGen System. In this regard, he took the opportunity to analyze the situation of gender violence in the municipality and to remember that the City of Cambre received from 2018 the amount of € 104,773 in the framework of the State Pact against Gender Violence for the development of activities for prevention and awareness in this matter.
“All administrations and institutions must work hand in hand to make available to the victims all the necessary resources to help them get out of this situation and guarantee the right to a life without fear, to them and their families,” concluded Rivas.
