Rapes in Seville: one every four days and up 216%
How is it possible that in the middle of 2024 rape figures in Seville, Spain, keep soaring? Official data point to one every four days, and the increase in the city stands at 216% compared to the previous year. In practical terms: around 90 sensual assaults a year in the province, according to calculations by citizens themselves.
The causes of the increase: immigration vs. reporting
The debate centres on the causes. One line of argument points to immigration, noting that the profile of the assailants is usually foreign. However, there is an awkward fact: Seville is one of the large cities with the lowest percentage of immigration. Another line insists that the increase is due to greater awareness and reporting, but the numbers —a 216% rise in a single year— suggest something more than a mere statistical effect.
Official silence and broken promises
Of course, the Government prefers to look the other way. While Irene Montero boasts about equality policies in Brussels, the rapes in Seville continue unchecked. The question is: how much longer will the narrative be sustained before the figures force action? Maybe it's the fault of video games, as some claim. Or of the lack of skirts at traffic lights. The bottom line is that rapes in Seville happen once every four days. And rising.
