The mayor of the city of Villa Elisa, Ricardo Estigarribia, mentioned that he has been making complaints for some time to obtain greater support in terms of security within the municipality, but that the government ignores his requests.
Security is a pending issue throughout the country, every day there are more and more cases of robberies in businesses or family homes, assaults on public transport or on public roads in broad daylight, murders or violence without anyone providing a answer or solution.
According to the mayor of Villa Elisa, there were several complaints that he presented to the Ministry of Finance and also to the command of the National Police, requesting tougher security measures and the presence of lynxes in his municipality, without receiving any type of response. He also highlighted that there is no existence of a security plan to root out multiple assaults. Estigarribia directly blames the government for all the acts of impunity. “I have countless notes that we also sent to the Vice Ministry of Transportation to enable more buses at night; all unanswered.” He said.
The mayor mentioned that he has all the intentions of taking action at the call of the citizens but that without the help of the government it is impossible to comply with them; since sometimes criminals are detained for a few hours and then released again. He also lamented the fact that more importance was given to political campaigns and not to the demands of citizens, on an issue that, supposedly, should be of the utmost importance to everyone.
