The Minister of Internal Affairs said negative legacies of the previous government PSD / CDS
The Minister of Internal Affairs announced an increase in overall crime in 2015, though he had not realized the extent of this evolution. Constance Sousa Urban, who presented the budget allocated to his ministry in parliament, he stressed, however, that with regard to violent crime, the values must keep the decline trend that has been recorded in recent years. It is the first time that a holder of Internal Affairs does not reveal at this time of year, hard data on trends in crime in the previous year. These data are still being compiled by the Internal Security System, headed by attorney Helen Farm.
One of the measures that Constance Sousa Urban presented as an example of capacity building for security forces that will perform is increased investment in infrastructure and equipment. Thus, the PSP will have 150 new vehicles and a budget of 5.8 million plants, almost more than triple 2015 (1.5 million). The GNR will be reinforced with 241 new vehicles and facilities will include 11 million euros, double 2015.
The minister highlighted two “heritage” of the previous government negative. More serious accidents and a decrease of police. “In 2013 and 2014 there is an increase in the number of accidents with victims number” is written. According to the presented data, in 2012 there were 29,867 accidents with victims in 2013 were 30,339, and in 2014 were 30 604. Although “the number of fatalities has been a downward trend in the last two years there is an increase in the number of serious injuries “. It was 2054 in 2010, 2152 in 2013 and 2206 in 2014.
The balance in relation to the police force is not positive. In four years of coalition government PSD / CDS security forces “lost 1122″ elements.
Since 2011, PSP has lost 529 police, the GNR lost 732 soldiers. Since 2016 go to pre-retirement PSP in about 400 elements. . But to compensate somewhat the imbalance this year will be admitted over 850 elements on PSP and another 400 in GNR
Constance Sousa Urban highlighted four priority lines of action in the political strategy of his ministry: the modernization and rationalization of the internal security system, improving international cooperation, improve the response of civil protection capacity and reverse upward trend in claims. Questioned by deputy PSD Fernando Negrao on the target to halve the budget for fuel on PSP, the minister admitted that there were such a reduction, but stressed that “there are other funds that are not spent and can be transferred. The PSP has always done this management flexible. You never saw any police car stopped because of lack of fuel. ” He added. “! I can guarantee you will not miss money for gasoline psp”
Constance Urban also spoke about terrorism, also in response to Negrao, to say that “while there is a strengthened legal framework, is accurate take further steps to strengthen the prevention and the sharing of information between the security forces and services and between them and all the players that have a role in this issue. “
