The Frente Amplio legislator raised situations of insecurity in various locations in the department, “which for a month did not have a Police Chief as a result of some adaptations of national positions.”

For the legislator, “there are cities like Rosario, with more than 10,000 inhabitants, which have only 12 officers at the police station; Colonia Valdense has 13 and Nueva Helvecia 16”.
“Likewise, criminal acts continue to take place in the department, the most tragic being a murder in Juan Lacaze, with no response from the Ministry other than transferring responsibility to other actors,” he added.
“Irresponsible” authorities for accusing medical professionals
“The authorities of the Ministry of the Interior publicly declared that doctors grant improper certifications, this being a serious fact that cannot be let go because it is implying that it is generalized conduct without evidence, and that is at least irresponsible,” he said. deputy.
According to the representative, “the underlying problems remain unresolved, there is no management plan in the territory, the direction of the Program for High Operational Dedication (PADO) has been changed and there is no method of dialogue and community exchange since The security and citizen coexistence tables were eliminated and no exchange instrument was generated.
“Now there is a new Chief of Police, we hope that progress can be made, we advocate for more instances of social dialogue and real support for the police,” Viera concluded.
