Hundreds of young people held a bottle this Monday in the Plaza de la Estrella Business owners urge measures to eradicate these crowds They assure that they generate fights, ethyl comas and that minors come to them Bags, bottles, cans, glasses, broken glass … They are the remains left by a Halloween macrobotellón that was held this Monday in a square in Vigo (Pontevedra). The images have been recorded and disseminated by hoteliers to denounce the “vandalism” bottles that have been taking place, they say, in that part of the city in recent weekends. “Again, another night without preventive measures or police resources to be able to put a stop to and eradicate the bottle in the Plaza de la Estrella that, like every weekend, is carried out by young people between 14 and 20 years old,” they say from Apemer, the Association Provincial of Musical Establishments and Regulated Shows. According to the owners of the nightlife venues, this Monday there was a massive presence of young people, some of them minors, consuming alcoholic beverages in the square. “Three Local Police patrols showed up after calls for several fights and ethyl comas with the intention of dissolving the bottle in the square, but it was impossible. They took photos and videos and broke up several fights, assisting in the transfer of several young people to ambulances and calling several parents of minors informing them of the situation of their children”, they affirm. Urgent meeting with the City CouncilApemer will request “an urgent meeting with the City Council of Vigo to find, as soon as possible, a serious solution to this problem”. In his opinion, “we must eradicate the bottle” from the streets and bet on an “orderly and normalized operation of the hotel industry”, something that, in his opinion, “can and should be compatible with neighborhood rest.” For a long time now, the bottle has not only been a cultural problem. It is a serious problem that we have been suffering from for a long time and that affects the neighbors and their rest and the hoteliers and their businesses because they generate problems of coexistence that the hotel industry is the first interested in avoiding”, they indicate. They also add that the bottle is reaching heights of vandalism never seen before these weeks, with intimidations and aggressions to which are added destruction, burning of containers, forcing of portals, theft, etc. To that joins the dirt generated by the remains of the bottle. They warn that while the anti-botellón law is not complied with, as other autonomous communities have already done, “a greater police presence is necessary to avoid the excesses that have occurred these past Thursdays and Fridays and to serve as protection, both for the neighborhood and for the residents themselves. hoteliers”.
