Seville, July 29, 2020. The Municipal VOX Group at the Seville City Council has once again achieved the unanimous support of political groups with municipal representation for urgent call for new positions of Local Police to come to alleviate the deficit of agents in the city of Seville.

The deputy spokesperson of the Municipal VOX Group at the Seville City Council, Gonzalo García de Polavieja, has stated that "The lack of troops of our Local Police is an endemic evil, of the City council, that mandate after mandate, government after government, is incapable of solving this long-standing problem".

«We have asked about it in the Oversight and Control Commission and according to official information, there are 1,259 provisioned local police posts, of which only 983 are effectively occupied, that is, we are talking about a deficit of 276 places ».

In this regard, García de Polavieja, has asserted that »we have been announced that a total of 55 new agents will soon be incorporated and there is another selection process underway, but the pace is excessively slow because the truth is that until now they have not been incorporating new personnel while producing constant retirements ».

«For VOX it is especially satisfactory that our proposals in matters of security and Local Police go ahead, because it is a matter that concerns us and worries us and we are always very above the needs in this sense of the people of Seville and in constant contact with the police forces that know better than anyone of their needs to offer an essential public service that should always be of quality", it is finished.
