Last week we learned through the press that the City Council of Yecla is applying sanctions of € 10,401 indiscriminately for possession of narcotic drugs.
Thus, according to data provided by the Councilor for Citizen Security in various media, in our city have been imposed 61 fines of that amount since 2015. In this sense, from the Municipal Group immediately we present a requirement to request explanations to the government team.
Thus, the Popular Party was hiding in that they only apply the law and that reports had even been requested from the Government Delegation to support the proliferation of sanctions.
However, Yecla is one of the few municipalities in all of Spain that applies Organic Law 4/2015 in this way.
Therefore, from United Left-Greens, through our Confederal Parliamentary Group of United We can, we have presented a battery of questions in the Congress of Deputies addressed to the Government.
These are aimed at knowing the interpretation of the rule to find out if Yecla is acting correctly.
Thus, we have presented the following questions:
“- Is the Ministry of Interior aware of the result of the application of the norm and its sanctioning regime in relation to the unjustified increase of penalties and fines of high amount for repeated possession of cannabis for own consumption in privacy?
- Are there criteria established by the Ministry of Interior regarding the interpretation of the rule for its objective application and qualification of the possible seriousness of the offense committed, as well as what can be considered recidivism?
- Does the Interior Ministry intend to establish these objective criteria for the application of the rule that avoid biased and discriminatory application?
