“The police presence has ensured people’s freedom. It pains me, as a citizen and as a Delegate of the Government, to hear statements attacking the police device because it has been a guarantee that we can all exercise the right to vote freely.”
The highest representative of the Government of Spain in our city, Sabrina Moh, in an interview granted to Onda Cero, explained that her objective, as head of the Delegation, was “to ensure the proper functioning and compliance with all the legislation”, something that has resulted in continuous attacks especially towards the institution that she directs and in “very dangerous messages that we must not condone or tolerate”.
The Government Delegate has acknowledged that it has been a “complicated and intense” electoral campaign, but has made it clear that “we have had a quiet 28M day and, therefore, I believe that the work in the end has had its fruit”.
Asked about the accusations of “institutional racism” from a political formation against the institution she runs, Moh has recalled that there have been continuous attacks against her person “every time an attempt has been made to implement some measures whose objective has always been the benefit of the general public.” “There has always been a continuous attack against me but in these elections it has become even more evident,” he said.
“I am strongly struck by the fact that they talk about institutional racism, when I think everyone knows my name and surname and, above all, the values that I always try to convey to the citizens,” he said. “I, personally, am the first person to advocate an inclusive city, a diverse city and, above all, out of hate and out of racism,” he added.
Moreover, he recalled that, “since the Government of Spain that I represent here in the territory, we have always said and have advocated coexistence as a strong point of this city”, while indicating that this type of messages, in addition to false ones, are dangerous, so we should all “unite and fight it, because in the end it does nothing other than harm one’s own coexistence”.
Turning Point
During the radio interview, the Delegate pointed out that, as a society as a whole, it would be advisable to reflect on everything that has happened since the problem is not only in people who allegedly buy votes, but also in those who, it seems, have sold their vote.
“I believe that these elections can serve as a turning point to know the importance of a clean democratic process and, above all, the importance of every citizen being able to freely choose and decide which people they want to represent in the Assembly of the Autonomous City,” he stressed.
Precisely so that this has been possible, Moh has recalled the effort, coordination and collaboration that has existed between the National Police, the Civil Guard and the Local Police, to whom he has thanked for his intense work during all these days.
“There are some issues that should not be disagreed and one of them is this,” he said. “We should give a unanimous message of support to the work and the work done by both State Security Forces and Local Police to ensure that the election day and the days before can be conducted with total normality and, above all, guarantee our security and our freedom,” he said.
He also conveyed his thanks to the Correo staff, whose activity has been intense and “who have had to face unpleasant situations during this process and we hope that they do not happen again”.
