Euskaraz irakurri: Alderdiek “irtenbide osoa” eskatu dute arma zurien erabilerarentzat, ez arlo polizialera mugatzea

PNV, EH Bildu, PSE-EE and Elkarrekin Podemos-IU have called for a “comprehensive solution” to curb the use of bladed weapons without restricting it to the police sphere, while PP+Cs have affirmed that “responsibility” should also be discussed policy” of the PNV and has opted for cooperation with the National Police and Guardia Civil.

In the meeting ‘Parlamento en las Ondas’ on Radio Euskadi, the Basque parliamentarians referred to the increase in crimes for white weapons in entertainment areas and the announcement that the sanctions for carrying them will be stricter.

The parliamentarian of GDP José Antonio Suso has acknowledged that it is a case that causes “significant social alarm” and has called for “zero tolerance” for cases as they arise and to try to “get rid of this situation at the root”.

However, he has warned that the experts do not agree on why the use of bladed weapons is spreading and has therefore defended the need to conduct a study that analyzes the situation.

By EH BilduMP Mikel Otero has acknowledged that it is “evident” that knife attacks have increased and therefore shares “societal concerns”.

He welcomes the fact that the mayor of Vitoria, Gorka Urtaran, has spoken about conducting a social study, in contrast to Bilbao councilor Juan María Aburto, who is “more leaning towards the Azkuna doctrine of ‘war against the navajero’ has drawn.'”.

For his part, the parliamentarian of PSE-EE Ekain Rico advocates effective measures to protect those who go out to enjoy the nightlife.

He believes property owners have a responsibility when it comes to ensuring safety and has advocated talking to them without “criminalizing” an industry that should be “part of the solution”.

By Elkarrekin Podemos-IU, David Soto has deemed it necessary to address the “serenity” issue as the planes are “diverse”. “On the one hand, there is the preventive side and on the other, the punitive or punitive side. There is a trend towards the second way because it is faster and increases sanctions,” he said, adding that, however, there are “structural elements which take more time”. .

Finally, the spokesman for PP+Cs, Carmelo Barrio, has argued that the system needs to be improved to “deal with crime” and that “the policing model with more presence and more controls” needs to be improved. “There should be more resources as we are talking about the feeling of insecurity associated with nightlife,” he said. The Ertzaintza has chosen to cooperate with the local police, but also with the National Police and the Guardia Civil.
