“So far this year, 4 women have been murdered in Madrid for gender violence; 47 women and 3 minors throughout the country. In this area of violence against women, it is impossible for me not to demand once again the immediate incorporation of the 30 municipalities of Madrid with more than 10 local police, municipalities that total more than 502,000 inhabitants and that, to date, have not yet been integrated in Viogén” said Martín Aguirre.
