The Government delegate demands more involvement from the Cartagena City Council to prevent these concentrations of young people from taking place
The Government delegate, José Vélez, insisted this Monday that the altercations in bottles are
“An isolated event” and ruled out the existence of a gang problem in the Region. Vélez was asked about this question during the acts in honor of the Patroness of the Civil Guard after this weekend a macro-bottle in Cartagena resulted in four injuries, two of them serious, by knife wounds.
The Government delegate was also questioned about the demands of the Cartagena Security Councilor, Juan Pedro Torralba, who demanded more help from the National Police in controlling mass concentrations and street parties. “I do not know how you can ask for greater involvement if the people who have been in these disturbances have been immediately detained by the State Security Forces and Corps.
More involvement would be difficult», It affected.
Vélez took the opportunity to ask “that we be more sensible when making statements on these issues.” He also launched a message to the Cartagena City Council: “To the councilor, with all due respect, I advise you to intervene much more by the City Council to try to prevent these macro-bottles that are causing so many problems for society”.
