The Police and Firefighters Union denounces the "lack of commitment" of the Yaiza City Council in matters of security. "In a population of 17,000 inhabitants, which doubles due to the existing accommodation offer, situations occur that are as inexplicable as the fact that there is only one patrol on duty, from the Local Police, in high-incidence shifts such as weekends," the union criticizes.
"This situation, which has been heavily denounced by this union, seems to be prolonged for a long time since, as of today, the command structure is conspicuous by its absence (there are 6 positions for Officer and one for Sub-inspector, all of them vacant), to which must be added another 11 vacancies for Police Officer," the union denounces.
"The Yaiza City Council, in its usual procedure, continues to ignore the claims of a significant part of the municipal staff, applying the already famous ostrich technique: it buries its head underground hoping that the postponement of the problems will be solved by magic," they point out from the SPPLB.
"The resulting radiography reveals the absurd policy of the misgovernment of concentration led by Óscar Manuel Noda, who, far from seeing the numbers presented here, does not seem to realize that, with the passage of a relatively near time, the figure will increase due to the retirements that are planned. However, the Mayor of UPY-LAVA continues stubbornly, stuck in a liquid discourse that liquidates any possibility of negotiation aimed at reinforcing his battered Local Police," the union adds.
From the union they point out that in the same line denounced in January of this year, Zebenzuí González Rancel, as Autonomous Secretary of the SPPLB in the Canary Islands, warned that "the key to the existing deadlock lies in the lack of communication between the first mayor and the delegates of the Local Police."
González Rancel states that "good proof of this are the several judicial procedures that this formation has had to file and that it has won against the City Council this year, which has been subject to condemnation regarding the payment of all the procedural costs incurred. The worst thing is that the several thousands of euros to be paid for the mayor's stubbornness will be paid by the battered pocket of all the residents of Yaiza," he concludes.
