The president of the PP in the Balearic Islands, Marga Prohens, closed this Saturday in Inca the Security Forum organized by the 'populars', where she insisted that "in the face of Sánchez's do-gooding, Feijóo's PP will put things in order and guarantee safety on the streets", while defending the expulsion of immigrants who commit offenses of special gravity.
"Citizens do not deserve to be afraid. They deserve to be able to walk calmly through their neighborhoods and municipalities, at any hour, without fear of suffering robberies, assaults or situations of violence", she said, according to the party's statement in a note.
Prohens highlighted the growing concern among neighbors, shopkeepers and families about insecurity. "In the face of left-wing do-gooding, we have it clear: the only way to guarantee security is with more police presence, more resources and laws that protect victims and not criminals," she stressed.
The 'popular' leader also highlighted the work of the Govern to reinforce the staffing of local police, pointing out that the legislature will end with 659 new agents, 334 of whom are already operational, 223 have passed the last selection process and another 98 come from the unified process.
Similarly, she emphasized the creation of the future Security District, which will integrate the Balearic School of Public Security and make possible the training of 200 new local police officers each year.
"While we comply and put more police on the streets, Sánchez's Government maintains 500 vacancies for the National Police and another 500 for the Civil Guard in the Balearic Islands. It is absolutely unacceptable that our islands suffer this lack of personnel, especially in the midst of the migration crisis," she criticized.
Along these lines, Prohens backed Alberto Núñez Feijóo's initiatives to reinforce security, including an effective law against repeat offending, tougher penalties for repeat sex offenders, measures against street violence, and specific plans against organized crime and cybercrime.
"Enough is enough about stopping people who steal or assault our seniors or our young and that very same day they go back calmly to the street. We need order, a hard hand against crime, and a president who guarantees the security of all Spaniards," she said.
The president has also defended the expulsion of immigrants who commit serious crimes or reoffend, making it clear that "it is not possible to criminalize an entire group, but neither can it be allowed that those who come to commit crimes think they will go unpunished."
On the other hand, Prohens has attacked what it considers the blockage by the president of the Congress, Francina Armengol, of the anti-squatting law promoted by the PP. "We have been waiting more than two years for a law that will allow us to evict squatters in 48 hours. Armengol keeps it blocked in Congress while thousands of property owners remain unprotected. With Feijóo in the Moncloa, the impunity of squatters will end and those who comply with the law will be protected," he said.
Finally, the president of the Balearic PP has reiterated the importance of the general elections of next November 29 to put an end to Sánchez's policies and restore security in Spain.
"On 29N, we have to decide whether to continue with a Government that turns a blind eye to crime or to have a president like Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who guarantees order, security, and respect for the law. From the Balearics, we are going to do everything so that change arrives, because our citizens deserve to live safely and because the moment has come to return order to our streets," he concluded.
José Vicente Marí warns of a surge in crime
For his part, the candidate for the Congress José Vicente Marí has denounced the deterioration in security during the years of government of Pedro Sánchez.
"Since Sánchez has been in power, crimes in the Balearics have increased by 15 percent, going from 73,600 in 2018 to 84,600 in 2025, while the population has grown only 5.19 percent. Meanwhile, during the PP governments, between 2012 and 2018, crime was reduced despite the fact that the increase in population was higher. The data shows that the PP's security policies work and that Sánchez's abandonment has direct consequences for citizens," he said.
Marí has again emphasized the lack of personnel from the National Police and the Civil Guard on the Islands and has called on the central government to guarantee adequate working conditions that allow officers to live in Balears.
"It is a disgrace that Sánchez abandons those who have the responsibility to protect us. We cannot demand security while the Government leaves hundreds of positions uncovered and offers no solutions to the housing problem and the high cost of living that our agents are facing", he noted.
Given this scenario, Marí has called for Alberto Núñez Feijóo's commitments to strengthen security, among which are a National Security Strategy, the lifting of the deadlock on the anti-squatters law that Armengol "has locked away in Congress", the toughening of penalties for sexual offenses and for the use of bladed weapons, a comprehensive plan against cybercrime, and the improvement of working conditions for the State Security Forces and Corps.
"With Feijóo we will end the impunity of criminals, strengthen the authority of our police and Civil Guards, and return peace of mind to our streets", he assured.
The 'popular' candidate ended by warning that "Sánchez has left Spaniards with more taxes, worse public services, and more insecurity".
"On November 29 we have the opportunity to put an end to eight years of neglect and open a new stage in which the security of citizens will once again be a priority for the Government of Spain", he added.
