The number of crimes in Miribilla doubling in just four years

The DB yesterday chose Square Miribilla to display the current 'map of crime' in Bilbao. The choice of this new neighborhood exemplifies, in the view of Antonio Basagoiti, how crime 'campaign at home here' throughout the city and amplifies its outreach. 'And more', the spokesman warned people, 'if the City Council remains idle.

Surrounded by half a dozen supporters of the left wing who tried boicotearle the act, the president of the popular vizcaínos reaffirmed in the proposal raised unsuccessfully for more than a year: the need to place video surveillance cameras in districts where reigns public insecurity and increasing unrest. He urged the mayor, Iñaki Azkuna, to repeat the experience carried out in Barcelona and Madrid. 'There have worked these security systems. All are satisfied: the neighbors and traders' she insisted.

Basagoiti cited 'expressly' for Miribilla-whose neighbors have complained in recent weeks the presence of prostitutes on the public highway-the Old and Bilbao. The edil showed puzzled 'by the' passivity City 'to tackle hotbeds of crime, but assured its' support' Azkuna in his' war on navajero 'in all areas of the city where needed. 'If Julia Madrazo it is not given, it will give us', he promised. According to Basagoiti, 'the time had come' to take action in Miribilla.

The DB justified the data produced by Eduardo Corn representing Public Security, at the request of his party, to confirm that the number of crimes in this area has doubled in the past four years. Compared to the 124 registered in 2004, the last year ended with 221, nine more than in 2005 and twelve fewer than in 2006. These figures, he emphasized, do not include crimes recorded by the Ertzaintza.

The spokesman strongly criticized popular Eduardo Corn and Madrazo at the time by rejecting his proposal to interpret the placement of cameras as an attempt to 'criminalise' to the people. 'The video should not worry honest people, but I do not know what he will say now when Maize has disowned its mayor announcing that San Francisco will'.

Consulted by this newspaper, the councilor peneuvista declined to make any comment on the increase in crime in Miribilla and, through a spokesman municipal moved any decision on the possible installation of cameras to the full, to be held tomorrow. Basagoiti insisted that 'urgent' preventive measures. 'It is not acceptable-remarked-a' narco 'to six neighboring communities complained of traffic is at home again on the streets. The people in this neighborhood are afraid ', he warned.
