The mayor of Calella, Marc Buch, recently participated in the conference "Recidivism and Public Security. When the System Does Not Deter", organized by the Foundation for Public Security with the collaboration of the Mataró City Council. The event was also attended by Calella's Security Councilor, Soufian Laroussi, and the head of the Local Police.
In the opening institutional panel, Buch shared the stage with the mayor of Mataró, David Bote; member of the PP parliamentary group, Alberto Vilagrasa; and the mayor of Sant Pere de Torelló, Jordi Fàbrega. The session was moderated by Felip Puig, a trustee of the Foundation for Public Security.
During his speech, Buch presented the municipality's experience and the work carried out, stating that "in Calella, we have long been striving to join forces against recidivism". He defended the need "to be nonconformist" regarding this issue, emphasizing that "recidivism is a threat to the democratic state" and that "in security matters, we cannot question the police and not the delinquent".
Regarding the new legal reform on recidivism, the mayor explained that in Calella, a decrease in crimes has been detected, which he linked to both the new legislation and police work. However, he noted that it is still too early to assess its impact and called for more resources for the judiciary.
The conference brought together municipal, police, and legal representatives to address recidivism and analyze the response to this problem from various perspectives.
