Chueca said Zaragoza City Council was aware of calls for November 28 and 30, coinciding with two dates she considers particularly sensitive because of their proximity to the electoral process. Among the posts circulating on social media is a poster announcing a demonstration in Zaragoza on November 28 at 6:00 p.m. to demand improvements to public education. Another call, scheduled for November 30, uses the slogan "Spain is also rising up. Lower prices, more dignity" and takes a stand against the PP and Vox. The mayor has demanded information about who is behind these calls and what their potential scope may be.
Concern also extends to the possible impact of the situation on business activity and safety in the streets. "More and more shops and business owners are coming to ask us what is happening," she said. Chueca insisted that she needs information to respond to citizens' concerns and warned that the central government cannot claim to be unaware of calls that, she said, are being publicly circulated on TikTok and other social media platforms.
CALLS FOR POLICE COORDINATION AND ACCUSES SPANISH GOVERNMENT OF FAILING TO INFORM
The mayor called on the central government to explain what measures it is preparing to prevent possible outbreaks of violence and guarantee public safety. "What the Spanish government, the minister and the president cannot do is act as if they were not there," she said. "Where are they to give us explanations and reassure us?" she added, while asking Marlaska to provide details of the plan for Zaragoza and the other cities affected by the calls.
Chueca recalled that responsibility for security lies with the Spanish government, through the National Police and the Civil Guard, although she offered the cooperation of the city council and the Local Police. "That requires coordination and, as of today, they are telling us nothing," she lamented. She also called for all available information to be provided and asked for measures to be taken to prevent disturbances reported in other cities from being repeated in the Aragonese capital.
