Guardia Civil egg attack

VANDALS attacked the Guardia Civil barracks in Pego with eggs last week.

The Spanish Guardia Civil Association (AEGC) has denounced a lack of security measures at several stations throughout the province for many years, including the one in Pego, which does not have a CCTV system.

This enabled the vandals to “act with total impunity,” said the AEGC.

But Pego was not the only town to register attacks against the force last week, as in El Verger an officer found all four tyres of his car slashed as he left the station to begin his patrol.

The AEGC reports that “at every meeting we have with the authorities responsible for the force” they have requested that 12 barracks in Alicante Province be fitted with CCTV and other security measures “to protect the buildings, the members of the public who visit them on official business, and the families of officers who live there.” The Association added that all political parties in the province and in the provincial government are aware of their demands but “to date no one has done anything to help.”

ONCE again, on Wednesday June 28, the residents of the Benimeli Club Residential were seen dancing and singing along with the Pick n Mix group of musicians.

Pick n Mix is made up of members of the U3A Denia guitar group and the Jukes of El Verger, the El Verger ukulele group.

They perform at many local residential establishments and charity events
