Councilman IU-Greens in the city of Murcia José Ignacio Tornel said today that "there is no prior justification or data to help understand the reasons" that have motivated the extension of the contract monitoring in streets and gardens of the city through security cameras.
Tornel has indicated that the city has not disclosed the reasons for this expansion, which may lead to think that is due to the increase in street conflict, although "this conclusion is not consistent with the assertions of municipal officials about the absence conflict in the municipality. "
It also highlighted "the lack of relevant data as the amount of the new service, the cost of maintenance or the staff required for the proper and efficient management of material generated from this surveillance."
In his view, "this lack of review, assessment and information on how municipal investment projects is an important economic criteria acceptable," so the increased surveillance "has no other reason that populism is not reasonable in the austerity measures without a clear criterion. "
