The Local Police of Tinajo has defended itself from the declarations made in a plenary session by Jesús Machín, mayor of the municipality, where he publicly recognized that he orders to lodge aggressors of gender violence in hotels "to avoid that they are arrested."
Given this information, the agents clarify that "in no case has it been proceeded to transfer or facilitate lodging to people denounced or investigated as alleged aggressors in matters of gender violence."
According to what they manifest, "the Local Police of Tinajo participates in the agreement signed since 2017 between the City Council of Tinaja and the Ministry of the Interior, in which the incorporation of this Body to the "Integral Monitoring System of Gender Violence Cases" is included, being an active part of the Viogen System where the protocol of action in cases of violence against women is established. In it, this Body has four Agents integrated in said system and are responsible for the action and monitoring of the Viogen cases in the municipality."
Likewise, it has indicated that "in situations of special vulnerability, and whenever it has been necessary or that the affected person has requested it, measures have been adopted to provide the victim with the different social resources existing in a preventive and temporary way, as established by the Viogen protocol."
In this way, from the Local Police of Tinajo they reiterate "their firm commitment in the fight against gender violence and emphasize that all their actions are carried out with the maximum rigor and respect to the established and signed protocols."
Finally, in relation to the declarations of Jesús Machín they assure that "always and at all times the Local Police has acted within the current legislation."
