Citizens proposes to deport undocumented immigrants who re-offend with three hurtosUn navajazo fatal in a theft exacerbated the security crisis in Barcelona

The Spanish Confederation of Business Organizations (CEOE) has been the last in speaking about the crisis of security in Barcelona and, to combat it, the Board of Directors of the CEOE , gathered today in Madrid, has endorsed the plan of shock proposed by Foment del Treball .

The roadmap of the Catalan employers passes by a Criminal Code to toughen sentences for “multirreincidencia continued”. The problem lies in the fact that the current legislation with the sutracciones value of less than € 400 are not punishable in the Penal Code. Nor punishes its repetition, so that it is increasingly common for criminals to convert the theft to a low level in their profession; conscious that only face fines economic and not to a possible entrance into the prison.

Citizens (Cs) already registered a few weeks ago, a bill in the Congress to fight against recidivism. The party of Albert Rivera suggested that after the third theft under 400 euros, this is considered to all effects as a grand theft; with its consequent criminal punishment. This initiative, however, will fall with the calling of the elections next November 10 .

The vice president of the CEOE adds that the employers ‘ association of Madrid CEIM with its president, Miguel Garrido , and the CEOE of Aragon led by Ricardo Mur , have already taken this plan to be put in place as soon as possible.

Sanchez Llibre notes that “it is good news that proposals that come from civil society to be undertaken by the political parties and the parliamentary groups in the Congress,” and warns: “Now we have to wait for the outcome of the forthcoming elections of 10 November in order to carry out the modification of the Criminal Code”.
