Tranquility and security
Despite the crowds and concentrations registered during Christmas, there has been no major incident, thanks, on the one hand, to the civic spirit and the spirit of understanding and coexistence of Murcia, as well as to the proper functioning of the Security Plan in which 290 agents have participated.
The purpose of the device was to ensure the mobility and road safety of citizens, on the one hand, and to promote the prevention of theft and unauthorized street sales.
