The spokesperson for the Gomera Socialist Group Parliamentary Group (ASG) maintains the importance of coordinating the work of the security forces and bodies
Casimiro Curbelo appeals to the responsibility of citizens in complying with the measures implemented, such as the mandatory use of a mask
The spokesperson for the Gomera Socialist Group Parliamentary Group (ASG), Casimiro Curbelo, proposed this Tuesday, the 18th, that Canary Islands Police officers can reinforce surveillance of the health and security measures implemented to deal with the effects caused by Covid-19 on the smaller islands.
“We have to join forces, reinforce the work carried out by the different security bodies and forces in our Archipelago, with the aim of contributing to the fulfillment of all the prevention actions that have been stipulated, in such a way that we can get out, together, of this health crisis, and even more so if we take into account that in recent weeks there has been a significant increase in the number of infections registered in the Islands,” defended the regional deputy.
In Curbelo's opinion, "it is essential to increase surveillance in all the Islands, but especially in those outside the capital because the National Police Corps does not have a presence there." For this reason, he raised the possibility that members of the Canarian Police could join the control efforts in these areas, as is the case, for example, in La Gomera and El Hierro, to support the operations that are already being carried out.
The ASG spokesperson in the regional Chamber also appealed to the responsibility of citizens in complying with the established restrictions. “We must be aware of the importance of abiding by the rules, such as the mandatory use of a mask or the prohibition of smoking in open spaces without a safety distance, among other measures, because we will only be able to deal with this virus if we promote prevention and health safety,” he argued. “We cannot continue to see how parties and events are held that are not allowed, in which the minimum security measures are not respected, so in the face of these acts we have to be blunt, apply the regulations and apply the corresponding fines,” he pointed out.
Likewise, the Gomero deputy advocated for "pursuing non-compliance with the rule through sanctions", a task for which, he insisted, "the work and involvement of the security forces of the Canary Islands is essential." Finally, he thanked and valued the efforts made by all these bodies in recent months in the fight against the pandemic.
