The spokesperson of the Municipal Socialist Group, Susana Hernandez, has called this Monday irresponsible to Ballesta to understand that the mayor of Murcia "has left the Local Police staff in the bones."

Hernandez explained that, since 2009, around 250 local police officers have been lost and that, in the last four years of Ballesta, there have been more than 100 officers who have left part of the body.

"As of January 1, 2019, nearly 80 police officers stopped serving, which, added to the number of personnel lost since 2009, makes it almost impossible to offer such an important service as that of the Local Police. thanks to the responsibility for the Murcia and Murcia of the agents -responsibility that Ballesta lacks- that put their free time and effort in carrying out their work and try to reach everywhere.

Thus, the socialist spokesperson has reported that, before summer, many of these agents have already made 175 extra hours a year to which they committed to try to alleviate the lack of personnel and provide the best possible service.

"The pasotismo of the PP and Ballesta's lack of interest in the municipality he leads result in an untenable situation in relation to the Local Police." For example, the Espinardo barracks in 1995 had 23 officers assigned to the 7 Today we have to cover all the shifts, to this we must add the closing of the La Raya barracks at night for more than a year, which has led to a single patrol to cover 10 districts, having to take turns 32 hours on weekends with regular weekday hours, the staff is exhausted, "he lamented.

"It is incredible that with this serious problem of lack of Local Police in Murcia, are now being carried out selective tests of the 47 places of 2016 and still the mayor Ballesta wants to get rid of it, when they have needed three years to start the opposition" , has added.

"Those 47 policemen should already be incorporated, but Ballesta ends the mandate with many photos, press headlines and inventions such as adding bracelets to the agents, tourist or leisure police or the new announcement of the neighborhood police, a unit created more than fifteen years ago and whose management has made it disappear, but where are the real solutions? Are not you ashamed of Ballesta and his team having left the rickety local police staff? new photos and will give new headlines, but the interest these years has been null and we do not forget that the Local Police and the safety of all Murcia and Murcia has not been nor is a priority for the PP, "he concluded.
