During the last weeks, Dénia has experienced a succession of violent situations in its streets. Fights, arguments, shouting... The nights seem restless, especially in the city center. But is this new? What is being done to fix it?
It doesn't matter what day it is, during the summer, when night falls, it's a lottery. Will you be able to sleep today or not? The atmosphere that is breathed near the leisure areas is sometimes unbearable, with too many young people sweating testosterone sharing spaces, and in a context where the consumption of alcohol and other substances is common.
It seems that no week goes by without an assault being made known. In the middle of it, several media echoed the complaint of a mother after her son received a violent beating on Colón street after a night out. Likewise, yesterday we published in Dénia.com another similar case in Glorieta happened the week before, where a group attacked another young man lying on the ground.
Is there more violence than other years?
But you're not seeing anything that hasn't been seen before. We have contacted the Councilor for Citizen Protection, Javier Scotto, who has assured that "no more insecurity has been detected than in other years." According to the mayor, this type of behavior, totally reprehensible, is unfortunately common in leisure areas. And now it seems that there is an increase for the simple fact that there are more people. Although the majority of the consumers of the clients of discos and pubs do not participate in any altercation of this nature, also since there are more people it is logical that there are more cases.
In addition, we must add the fact that in the summer period nightlife is very active, practically every day of the week, and is not limited to weekends as in winter. This generates that feeling of not having rest for the neighborhood.
Acts that are no longer limited to the doors of the premises
The street that has suffered the most from these behaviors for some time is Marqués de Campo, which is why a reinforcement of surveillance and security was carried out in these areas during the summer, as announced from the City Council, the Local Police and the National Police a few months ago. Likewise, security was increased in private establishments to collaborate, as indicated.
However, it is not possible to get everywhere and the fights seem to have moved away from the gates to spread through the streets adjacent to Marqués de Campo. Colón, La Vía, Patricio Ferrándiz, La Mar, Glorieta... The area in which these acts take place is too extensive and difficult to control.
Reduce violence by reviewing nightlife offers and offering alternatives
Of course, the City Council, according to Scotto, is studying taking measures to stop this violence. On the one hand, he points out that "activity licenses of premises linked to these events will be reviewed." On the other, the council assumes that alternative leisure offers should be presented for young people and make the nightlife healthier.
For this, a nightlife commission will be created, in order to work together with the companies themselves and promote co-education between citizens and members. Until then, there is the relief of thinking that in the coming months there will be five nights a week off.
and all this comes to mind that this incompetent piece of shit... the one we pay and I repeat that it's nothing personal but nobody questions his vindications... and he's incapable of even separating the fucking bikers and bikers skaters and skater of the sidewalks... I suffer from it, older people suffer from it even with children in the cart... and they pass by and make fun of it... the shit of the police... they see them and they don't tell them anything even when there are two on the electric scooter??? Why so much shit regulations? and if they are pretty girls… I have seen local policemen going two on the same skateboard to greet them??… especially at the red cross roundabout… that is if they see a vehicle that has stopped for a few minutes to buy the newspaper they are already like fucking hysterics faking them with a bad tone... that they can't even stop... which shows that they are not at the service of the citizen but that they have become little fucking Nazi uniforms full of symbols and flourishes... and another thing you hear them speak in Valencian among themselves... then they go to you in Spanish..??? perhaps pir this they think they have more authorities….??? Psychologists say so, the effect is the opposite and people in general become defensive... if they speak to you in your language they can get all the information possible... (perhaps). In the end, you no longer trust them, they are arrogant little uniforms...

Document yourself… this guy who has it with our impuedto in this town hall… only a few years ago… being a councilor in a conference at the distance university here in Denia… »that 40% of them are puteris»… all of it turns the situation around the one who feel exploited unfortunately many women… this idiot put everyone in the same bag… you… me… local police… your colleagues… mayor… ????? Anyway, I'm not talking about the mariconeris…. and any type of pederasty… because he already wrote in a silly self-indulgent shit (who the hell cares). he said in that personal nofrio... that brings us to the hoof... that he was proud to be... DIFFERENT. ??? AND WHO CARES??.. THAT IF A FEW YEARS BEFORE THOSE WHO ARE NOT LIKE HIM...?? .FOR BELONGING TO THE 40% PERCENTAGE. CALL US PUTERS..

And I also add the parents... well, 40%... imagine... then he asks for respect... when for being MEN... he has already esteemed us... damn it... it's just one example of the madness of this council... two more examples... we were few and the donkey gave birth... the councilor on duty... a cement parking lot over the Raman city????? You are very quiet archeologist from the town hall… JOSEP GISBERT and the other one has to kill the wild boars with arrows… …???. and Papa Smurf the silent Mayor… that's why he shouldn't be surprised at anything… True things, friend Sancho
Javier Scotto says:...»According to the mayor, this type of behavior, totally reprehensible, is unfortunately common in leisure areas...»
But they have been going on for a long time now and they do nothing to stop them.
But what environments have you grown up and lived in when you consider them habitual? And because they are "usual" according to him, do we have to give it a wide berth? Normalizing violence and insecurity? Perhaps they attacked the boys when they shouted "faggot" ... So would it be different for Javier Scotto? Would he put on some kind of "performance" asking for respect and forceful measures against homophobic aggression? This situation is like this because the City Council wants and supports them with their laziness.
The violence in the center of Denia is continuous, avalanches of 14-year-old children who leave the Condado nightclub drugged and heavily drunk, but the police stay at the door while they empty the nightclub, due to the fights so big that they get involved when They all go out, during the whole of last winter, you fight every weekend and they see the state of youth, and they do not put any remedy, girls so young drunk, they start having sex anywhere on the street without any shame! Let them go into the county undercover and see how alcohol is served to 14 year olds!! Someone will be behind to see what they are seeing and do nothing about it!! And less recording, and having more balls to go down to help the boy, or to see him shouted that they are recording him and that they will run, but some help!! Not just record while they could have tied him up with those blows to the head!! ???
Before it was a pleasure to walk around Denia at night, sit down and dine in Marques de Campo or Calle Loreto, now not anymore. It all started with the Condado Room. A single Discotheque is destroying the good atmosphere and the nightlife of responsible people, civic, families and those quality tourists that they like to advertise so much. Not to mention the poor neighbors whom the City Council disrespects and violates their rights every night for allowing all this social decline caused by a single establishment. Yourselves.
Perfect. Bravo. Whether it's the violence at night or the state of cleanliness of the city, and everything not only in the center but already a kilometer away.
