One day after the fatal shooting that occurred on Sunday in the Zona Franca, Barcelona City Council has issued a message of "calm" to residents. According to information from security forces, the events are reportedly linked to international organized crime, rather than conflicts specific to the Marina neighborhood.

The councilor for the Sants-Montjuïc district, Raquel Gil, acknowledged the residents' concern over these incidents, which mark the third shooting in the area within a month. Gil emphasized that "it is not a response to strictly neighborhood dynamics," but rather to "settlements linked to organized crime."

Despite the difficulty in improving the perception of safety with such serious events, the councilor assured that other neighborhood issues, such as the occupation of a warehouse, are being specifically addressed. The goal is for residents to regain a sense of normality and security.

To achieve this, security measures are being planned for the upcoming neighborhood festivities in Marina, including an increased police presence and potential expansions of operations during the celebrations.
