Citizens will present in the coming days a battery of legislative proposals to combat the problems of citizen insecurity that are occurring in the streets of Barcelona and Madrid. This week will register in Congress a bill that proposes to reform the Criminal Code so that the "multi-recidivist" robbers end up entering prison, something that currently does not occur because many of the robberies are of smaller amounts, Albert said Rivera this Monday during an interview on Onda Cero.

The leader of the orange formation has said that there is "a legal hole" that leads to "90% of criminals who commit theft or robbery in Barcelona do not step on the jail." Its intention is that the robbers have higher fines or higher penalties.

For such a modification, a parliamentary majority is required and a scenario in which the current institutional paralysis does not exist, but Rivera has defended that "it is one thing to govern and another to legislate" and has been confident that it is an initiative "that can generate consensus. " Citizens denounce that in the streets of some cities "there is not enough security or police" and that is why in some areas the neighbors have had to create "citizen patrols".

The details of the proposal are not yet closed, explain sources of the orange formation, but its objective is to end the "authentic robber patrols" that, they warn, roam with impunity through the streets of Barcelona under the "permissiveness" of the mayor, Ada Colau Those of Albert Rivera see "very worrying" the attitude of leaders like Colau, "who says they are punctual things, as if nothing happens, look elsewhere or deny it" and who is concerned "that there are more police in the streets that criminals ". "In Citizens, what worries us that there are more criminals in the streets," Rivera said. "A policeman does not scare me, he protects me," he added, also indirectly charging the citizen security policy of former Madrid mayor Manuela Carmena.

Therefore, in addition to the reform of the Criminal Code, they are going to ask the Government to increase the number of State Security Forces and Bodies that patrol in Barcelona and Madrid, something they will also claim in relation to the Mossos d'Esquadra . Thirdly, they will recover the proposal of the Law for Illegal Occupation , which was presented in 2018 and which aims to more efficiently protect the owners of occupied homes and neighbors and eradicate mafias and narcopisos.

The spokeswoman for Citizens, Lorena Roldán , explained that in the coming days they will make a route through the main points of citizen conflict in Barcelona. It will begin this Tuesday by moving to the El Raval neighborhood to talk with the neighbors. On Wednesday, she will meet accompanied by the parliamentary spokeswoman, Inés Arrimadas, with different entities. Roldan has reproached the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, who has said that he changes his pocket wallet when he walks through the Gran Vía in Madrid.
