Benidorm condemns with a minute of silence the latest macho crimes of Blanes and Murcia

The City Council of Benidorm with its mayor, Toni Pérez, and the councilor for Equality, Paquita Ripoll, at the head, have condemned this afternoon, the two last crimes that have taken place in our country. In the protest have also been present members of the various groups with representation in the corporation, public workers and neighbors.

With this action, Benidorm shows its strongest rejection of gender violence that, in just two days, has claimed the lives of two women. The first, 40 years old and originally from Bolivia, in Blanes (Gerona) who received on Monday a score of stab wounds from his partner of 41, of the same nationality, in the presence of their children. The second, of Colombian nationality, of 39 years, passed away on Wednesday in the district of the Fame, of Murcia, also stabbed by its sentimental companion of 46. With these two cases, the number of victims by the violence of sort in our country As of now, it has risen to nine women, a fact that "is clearly lamentable", said Paquita Ripoll, who reiterated once again "and those that are needed" that the administration puts at the service of battered women the telephone number 016 against violence of gender, free and that leaves no trace in the telephone bill.
