Now Murcia: "The surveillance cameras in El Carmen do not respond to the needs of security or social integration of the neighborhood" (21/02/2018)

The vocal of Now Murcia in El Carmen highlights that "the installation of these video cameras led the PP in 2015 to a full board, which rejected the measure, now the PP government has approved the action without passing it through our board and, as far as we know, without consulting the neighbors of the neighborhood "

The municipal training highlights that "the PP has explained that it will pay for this action with EDUSI European funds for Sustainable Urban Development, however, we have verified that the bases of these funds do not contemplate their use for surveillance measures, so we would be inadequate use of these European resources "

NOW MURCIA affirms that the installation of 15 surveillance cameras in the neighborhood of Carmen approved a few days ago by the municipal government of the PP "does not respond to the needs of security or social integration of the neighborhood."

The spokesperson, Alicia Morales points out that "it does not seem that this area is one of the most insecure in the municipality, and in any case improvements in security and integration are not achieved by installing these devices."

The municipal training has requested information in writing about the crime figures "in this area of ​​Carmen and other areas of the municipality," to see if this neighborhood is the one that yields the worst rates.

Morales points out that this action by the PP "gives a false impression that it is a highly conflictive or dangerous space, when it is not, and in addition to creating a sense of insecurity, this measure criminalizes an area of ​​the neighborhood with a vulnerable population."

The mayor adds that these cameras will create "a kind of Big Brother that will put at risk the privacy in the daily life of the neighbors of the neighborhood", besides that "the most probable thing is that the cameras would only displace the possible crimes to the next zones that are out of your vision. "

Morales is convinced that, before this measure "of very doubtful effectiveness and that creates alarm", it would be preferable for the PP government "to allocate these resources to other security measures, such as the presence of neighborhood police, or implement policies social and prevention of exclusion ".

On the other hand, the vowel of Now Murcia in the municipal meeting of El Carmen, Rafa Ródenas, highlights that "the installation of these video cameras led the PP in 2015 to a plenary session of the board, which rejected the measure. Now the Government of the PP has approved the action without passing it through our board and, let it be known, without consulting the neighbors of the neighborhood. "

In addition, Ródenas stresses that "the PP has explained that it will pay for this action with EDUSI European funds for Sustainable Urban Development, however, we have verified that the bases of these funds do not contemplate their use for surveillance measures, so we would be an inadequate use of these European resources ".

Alicia Morales points out that "among the measures proposed by the City Council in the 'City of Murcia 2020 Strategy' project is not the adoption of new security measures in the municipality.The project does not establish that security is a problem in the municipality or that actions are necessary to increase it ".

Before all these situations described, the mayor asks "what is the real interest of the PP in this disproportionate installation of cameras, which can not find an explanation for the real needs of the neighborhood and has been approved without following channels of participation or attending to the bases of the European aid used or to the needs and objectives set by the City Council for the municipality of Murcia ".
