It has been a long time since a district plenary session aroused so much interest, even outside the city. The plenary session of the Municipal Board of Hortaleza will debate this Thursday a proposal from Vox that requests that “immediate measures be taken in response to the inappropriate occupation by unaccompanied minors of the waiting benches of the EMT bus stops surrounding” the center located in the neighborhood In his opinion, »there has been an increase in insecurity and intimidation among neighbors and users of public transport, especially girls and adults, as well as an increase in garbage, bags and dirt that affects the image and use of public space in the city. area”. Therefore, they ask that »immediate actions be coordinated with educators and those responsible for the center« to address this problem and more police presence in the area.
Faced with this proposal, Más Madrid has been quick to denounce that this measure is “xenophobic» and «contrary to human rights, the rights of children and the Spanish Constitution». “Who does Vox think it is to demand that migrants cannot sit in a bus shelter, as if racial segregation laws existed?” argued the spokesperson for Más Madrid in Hortaleza, Miguel Montejo. The political party has stated that they will not tolerate any more “racist aggression in the institutions” and has demanded that the PP “exactly condemn this barbarity.”
In this sense, the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, has stated that he is “neither with the message that Vox sends, always pointing out the insecurity of the menas, nor with the left that points out as racists anyone who does not share their approaches” and has indicated that it will pursue the “improper use of the canopies” of the Municipal Transport Company (EMT) of the capital regardless of who does it.
Thus, he stressed that the city council does not distinguish behavior “neither by nationality, nor by origin, nor by skin color.” «When there is improper behavior it has to be prosecuted and if that improper behavior is done by a Mena or a Spaniard, the city council prosecutes it. “We do not persecute people, but rather we persecute inappropriate behavior,” he expressed.
Someday they will condemn you for working against the Spanish people.
The measure aims to allow older people to sit in the shelters and women to do so without fear, because the MENAS of Hortaleza have them taken over and spend hours in them without waiting for a bus.… pic.twitter.com/h0GHOo69OD
