ARCHIVED - 157 people found in a nightlife venue in Cartagena on Saturday
The owner of the premises faces a fine of between 30,001 and 600,000 euros
It was bound to happen and all over Spain there have been reports this weekend of members of the public completely disregarding the calls for caution and gathering in larger groups than is deemed safe by the scientific and medical communities and ignoring the restrictions put in place by the authorities.
Although older members of the public attempting to stay safe until the vaccine programme catches up are for the main part, complying with the restrictions, younger people who are less likely to suffer from severe cases of covid are the principal protagonists in the incidents reported this weekend, as is the case in Cartagena.
A total of six patrols of the Local Police of Cartagena and National Police, participated in an operation in a leisure establishment in the Alameda San Antón in which 157 people were found inside a venue, exceeding the maximum capacity permitted.
This is classified as a very serious offense under article 35 of Law 4/2015 of March 30 relating to Protection of Citizen Security, referring to recreational activities in direct violation of the prohibition or suspension ordered by the corresponding authority for public safety reasons.
Councillor for Citizen Security in Cartagena, Juan Pedro Torralba, said that “this type of action has consequences. It cannot be tolerated that, at this point, and after what this pandemic is doing to so many of his fellow hoteliers, that the owner of this business acts with such irresponsibility. These infractions endanger the people who go to the premises, those who work there and give a very damaging image of the hospitality industry, even if it does not correspond to what the majority do ”.
Apart from this incident, the Local Police officers in Cartagena have filed 99 more sanctions in the municipality during the weekend. Most of the infractions, 48, are due to a breach of the curfew; 29 for not wearing the mask or doing it incorrectly; 12 for exceeding vehicle occupancy levels; 7 for meeting in groups of more than four people on public roads; 1 to the owner of a home in which there was a meeting with several non-cohabitants; 1 for smoking on public roads and another for breaching the perimeter closure of the Region. In addition, the agents installed 31 checkpoints on different roads in the municipality in which they stopped and checked 620 vehicles.
