The mayor of Montevideo questioned the policy against crime and sentenced: “You have to stop talking and do things.”
The Mayor of Montevideo, Carolina Cosse, questioned the government’s criticism of the broad front for the management of insecurity and pointed out that “It’s been four years since they’ve gotten one” in the face of a sensitive problem and that keeps Uruguay in a state of concern.
In that line, Cosse He considered that “we must stop talking and do”, after which he anticipated that this Monday he will send a letter to the Ministry of Interior, from where they remembered that homicides dropped by 50%. In the letter he will count “all the places where cameras are needed”, although he clarified that they will not be useful if later at the police station “they say they do not have personnel or mobile phones.”
Cosse He stated at a press conference that the security problem “is so serious that it is always time to start.” Referring to the statistics, he detailed: “Do we have a homicide every other day? It’s nonsense. You have to stop talking and doing, with real actions ”.
When expediting on the government’s criticism of the FA for security management, he said: “I don’t know how they’re not ashamed to say that. Now they have been in government for almost four years. They have had four years of opportunity to do”. And he reversed the charge by targeting the ruling party. “Let’s assume that we did everything wrong. But it’s been four years since they’ve been getting one, ”he criticized. In addition, he expressed: “With a direction that does not exist, because they said they had such a security strategy and I have not seen any change of direction.”
When asked about the multi-party group that called the Ministry of Interior to outline common strategies to combat crime, the mayor of Montevideo considered that the initiative “is not enough.” And then she pointed out: “It is not enough to talk. I want action in the best sense. Not that they are going to persecute fragile people, like the one who is washing cars in the street to earn a living.”
Cosse promised to collaborate for the placement of security cameras
Regarding the government’s progress regarding the security cameras, He admitted that he has “a number of places to put cameras”, but said that the most important thing is “that that camera in the back has an answer.” It is that, according to her, “many people have things happen to them and call the police station and tell them that they do not have staff or mobile phones.”
Cosse He proposed to “work seriously” and announced that on Monday he will send a letter to the Ministry on where to put the cameras as a way of collaboration. “If you don’t know what to do with those 2,000 cameras that they say there are, I’m going to give you an idea of where to put them,” he said.
