Benidorm has observed this noon a minute of silence in memory of the 35-year-old woman allegedly murdered by her sentimental partner, 31, in Zaragoza. With the mayor, Toni Pérez, the councilor for Equality, Ángela Zaragozí, members of the corporation and public workers have shown their strongest rejection of this social scourge.
The sad event occurred early Sunday morning. The woman now dead, the man jumped into the void from the balcony of the house and now, with a very serious prognosis, he is admitted to the intensive care unit of a hospital in the Aragonese capital.
In addition to this, last week there were five more murders of gender violence, four women and a child under 7 years old. In 2021, 14 women have already lost their lives, 1,092 since the data began to be computed statistically in 2003.
The Department of Equality has launched a message of solidarity with the victim's family and reminds all women who feel threatened that Benidorm City Council has technical staff specialized in gender violence. In addition, he reiterates that the number 016 for assistance to victims is free and does not leave a mark on the telephone bill, although it is advisable to delete it from the call log.
