The PP demands more police and the activation of the proximity unit in L'Hospitalet after the incidents, in addition to urgent repairs in nursery schools and alternative spaces due to the closure of the Teatre Joventut.

The municipal plenary session of May in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat is marked by two violent episodes in Collblanc-La Torrassa, where a shooting and a stabbing have occurred. The municipal group of the PP has placed both events at the center of its demands and asks to reinforce police presence and security measures in the city.

The party brings to the municipal debate a paradox that fully affects the district. While more resources are demanded after the latest incidents, it maintains that proximity tools already approved in the plenary, such as the specific neighborhood unit and the direct telephone of the Guàrdia Urbana, have not yet been recovered.

Sonia Esplugas, spokesperson for the municipal PP group, asks to recover the proximity unit and reinforce coordination with the Mossos d'Esquadra. She also demands the arrival of more personnel in L'Hospitalet, in line with what the Minister of the Interior, Núria Parlon, announced at the last security meeting.

"Recover the proximity unit, which has already been approved in plenary and which the Socialist Party does not want to implement, and recover the direct telephone of the Guàrdia Urbana" - Sonia Esplugas, spokesperson for the municipal PP group, Ajuntament de L'Hospitalet de Llobregat

In addition to police reinforcement, the PP proposes to expand the "puntos liles" (purple points) in the city and guarantee their presence at all festivals, cultural events, and large gatherings. The proposal links public space security with stable preventive devices at events with the highest attendance.

An audit detected deficiencies in several nursery schools

In the same plenary session, the municipal group will also focus on an audit commissioned by the Ajuntament that has detected deficiencies in the facilities of some nursery schools. The incidents affect areas related to safety, air conditioning, and sanitation.

"There are a series of very worrying deficiencies related to safety, air conditioning, and sanitation. Therefore, we urgently ask the government team to carry out a quick solution and dedicate an investment to improve these deficiencies" - Sonia Esplugas, spokesperson for the municipal PP group, Ajuntament de L'Hospitalet de Llobregat

The municipal group has requested a meeting to learn about the urgent action calendar with which the local government plans to correct these shortcomings. Its request seeks to specify intervention deadlines in the centers and the scope of the planned investment to improve the school quality of life for boys and girls.

The closure of the Teatre Joventut for works forces the search for alternative spaces

Another of the requests registered by the PP affects the cultural and educational activity of the city. Given the closure of the Teatre Joventut for works, the party requests the habilitation of new municipal spaces that allow the free celebration of school activities to be maintained.

The proposal aims to prevent the suspension of the use of the facility from leaving programs aimed at educational centers without an outlet. The closure of the Teatre Joventut for works is, in fact, the concrete data with which the municipal group justifies the need to open alternative municipal venues.
