A recent attempted robbery at a business in Los Palacios y Villafranca has reignited concern among local merchants. The political party VOX has expressed its support for the sector's discontent and denounced a climate of insecurity in the municipality.
According to VOX, the recurrence of robberies and attempted assaults is causing deep unease among hoteliers and merchants. They point out that the impact goes beyond the economic, affecting daily activity and the peace of mind of those who work in the sector.
The party considers the situation "unsustainable" and reiterates the urgent need for action. "We cannot allow a lack of resources to leave unprotected those who open their businesses every day and the residents of our municipality," they state.
Following the latest incident, VOX has formally requested the City Council to implement a coordinated and effective security plan. Among their proposals are an increase in police presence and specific measures to protect local businesses and prevent future occurrences.
The party concludes by calling for action from the municipal government: "It is time for the municipal government to act. Merchants need answers, and residents need security."
