ThePresident of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez , has stated on Wednesday that one of the main security problems is that of criminals who commit repeated crimes and has ordered the processing of the proposed law submitted by Junts in order to tighten the penalties for repeat offenders.

This is how the PNV spokesman, MAribel Cowboy , answers the question on security. The MP jeltzale asks the president for measures and legislative initiatives. In this regard, he recalls that there are two bills on the subject on the table (one of them submitted by Junts) pending processing. 

Cowboy has warned that the repeated sight of those who commit crimes in the streets creates a sense of "impunity," so he has stressed the need for "tools and means" to judge theft in time and form to avoid scaremongering and fake news. 

Sanchez, for his part, has replied that from 2018 to 2025 the Spanish Government has increased its investment in security by 30% (1.6 billion euros more) and has even stressed that today there are 257,000 police officers, the largest in its history.

He has also pointed out that there are almost twice as many prosecutors and judges as in Rajoy's time.
