Pérez: "Alcohol has never been served to minors in the youth centers of the municipality" (25/04/2018)

The Councilor for Infrastructure, Public Works and Services, Rebeca Pérez, has responded to Ahora Murcia that "with her statements demonstrate the absolute ignorance of the operation of our youth centers." La Nave center, like the rest of youth spaces, welcomes the youth associations of the municipality for the development of their activities among which are concerts, solidarity parties or end of course.

"Hosting a very plural program aimed at an audience between 12 and 35 years, we have never had a problem regarding the consumption of alcohol to minors because alcohol has never been served to minors," the councilor pointed out.

Perez has emphasized that "the regulations have never been violated since the regulatory ordinance expresses in section 2 of article 2 that, exceptionally, due to special events such as the annual celebration of the Spectra Festival, the sale and supply of alcoholic beverages through the use of auxiliary or portable bars ".

According to the councilor "in none of the editions of the festival have minors entered, and, although their access is allowed accompanied by an adult, they have never agreed"

"In the same sense, the Law 6/1997, of October 22, on drugs, for the prevention, assistance and social integration, in its article 16 allows the sale, supply or dispensation of alcoholic beverages, of less than 18 ° in centers and dependencies of public administrations ", has indicated the mayor.

Perez recalled that "from the City Council, both through the Department of Sports and Health and from which I direct several campaigns throughout the year to prevent alcohol consumption in young people because it is a priority for us "

Thus, framed in the municipal plan on drug addiction, many actions are being carried out for the prevention of alcohol consumption in minors, collaborating with educational and health systems in the field of prevention of drug dependence, monitoring and controlling establishments and places where the Law prohibits the supply, sale and dispensing of alcoholic beverages to children under 18, coordinating prevention programs, and supporting associations and entities collaborating with the municipal drug plan.

"Also from the Youth Service, in addition to specific campaigns to avoid alcohol consumption in young people, such as those carried out at Spring Festivals and at the September Fair, we carried out the Networks program in order to provide young people with alternative healthy leisure ", Pérez finished.
