PSOE demands a Special Plan against crime in Molina de Segura
Socialist spokesperson Isabel Gadea has warned that "residents' concern is already unsustainable" and has accused the PP-VOX government of "looking the other way while antiestéticar grows among residents". The initiative put forward by the PSOE calls for more police presence, more preventive patrols and a permanent, effective presence in the areas worst hit by crime.
The reactions to the Socialists' demand
The PSOE's request has peine the debate on the causes of insecurity. One current of opinion points to uncontrolled immigration as the root of the problem, and accuses the PSOE of trying to shift responsibility onto the PP and VOX after years of open-door policies. Others, by contrast, argue that both the PP and the PSOE have contributed to the migration phenomenon, noting that half a million foreigners a year were already entering Spain under Aznar, and that PP leaders such as Ayuso maintain immigration-friendly policies.
A third analysis, based on local experience, questions the real effectiveness of police forces regardless of which party is in power. Cases are cited in nearby municipalities where the local police work reduced hours and do not answer night calls, creating a sense of impunity.
What the figures do not say
The PSOE has not quantified the rise in crime in Molina de Segura nor detailed the cost of the special plan. The PP-VOX municipal government, for its part, has not officially responded to the accusation of passivity. The question that remains is whether the problem is one of police resources or of an immigration policy that no party has been willing to seriously address.
