Sergio Ochagavía, mayor of Albelda de Iregua, held a meeting this Wednesday with the Government delegate in La Rioja, Beatriz Arraiz, to discuss this issue. «The precautionary measures adopted seem good to me for the stability and tranquility of the municipality. And there is no choice but to respect judicial decisions, whether you like them or not. I understand that Justice knows what it is doing and that the judge will have reasons to make her decisions,” explained Ochagavía, who pointed out that the presence of the Civil Guard is continuous in the town.

“Normally there are a lot of Civil Guard and everything has been calm until the situation exploded again,” describes the mayor. In fact, the Albelda City Council has a ‘shock plan’ in order to revitalize and change the image of the conflictive Arriba neighborhood. The Government team has presented a street redevelopment project in order to improve roads in the area. It is also desired to improve cleaning and unclog clogged sewers, as well as revitalize an association in the area to organize activities, improve security and promote better coexistence in an environment where an estimated 1,500 people reside, around 43% of the population. population of Albelda.
