The director of the National Police, Jaime Fernández, announced that they will not tolerate street closures in response to the call for a strike by teachers protesting the proposed reforms to the Social Security Fund. In his statements, Fernández stated: "We do not oppose people manifesting, but closures will not be allowed."
This stance arises as a preventive measure against possible blockages that affect urban mobility and hinder the free movement of citizens. According to the National Police, the right to peaceful protest will be guaranteed, but any action that disturbs public order will be prevented.
Jaime Fernández reiterated the importance of respecting the right to demonstration, as long as it is carried out in an orderly manner and without affecting normalcy on public roads. He also called for dialogue as a way to channel demands and find solutions that benefit all parties involved.
The statements from the director of the National Police aim to ensure that protests are conducted within a framework of respect and legality, protecting both the rights of protesters and the general population's right to move freely around the city. Coordination with the relevant authorities and adherence to current regulations will be essential to avoid conflict situations during mobilizations.
