The Legislature seeks to eliminate extortion in the streets in the face of social exhaustion over the violence of these criminals

The Legislative Power of Córdoba is preparing to resume a crucial discussion on the definitive eradication of illegal car minders. These individuals usually take over public space through extortion methods that generate deep insecurity among all local citizens. The population is demanding an end to this criminal activity in order to avoid physical reprisals and material damage when they park their private vehicles.
Minister Juan Pablo Quinteros is promoting a severe reform that aims to eliminate article 60 of the current Coexistence Code in the province. This regulation allows the work of illegal car minders under the false premise of an alleged and dubious willingness in the payment that the user makes. Erasing this legal section is a necessary step so that police forces can act forcefully in the face of such aggressive behavior.
It is imperative that Córdoba's political leadership prohibit this abusive practice instead of trying to regulate a crime that is evident on every corner. Allowing certain illegal car minders to continue operating through cooperatives only perpetuates a protection system for those who violate the rules. The safety of residents must prevail over any attempt to formalize a task that is based on constant intimidation and illegal charges.

End of extortion in the streets
The Security Commission, chaired by Juan Manuel Llamosas, will receive mayors to analyze the implementation of measures throughout the province. It is essential that the rejection of these criminals be uniform in every locality in order to prevent them from moving freely from one jurisdiction to another. Coordination among the different levels of the State will be the key to dismantling these mafias that profit from drivers' fear.
Provincial legislator Gregorio Hernández Maqueda firmly keeps that this activity is simply extortion disguised as false urban security. Society can't allow peaceful coexistence to be disrupted by violent individuals who demand money in exchange for not damaging other people's property. The parliamentary debate must focus on drastic solutions that restore order and respect for the right to move about and park freely.
Law-abiding citizens have already expressed their total exhaustion in the face of the presence of these illegal car minders who constantly disrupt everyday life in the neighborhoods of Córdoba Capital. Legislators have the opportunity and the obligation to clean up public space and ensure that no one suffers aggression for refusing to pay a fee. A strict, total, and uncompromising ban is the only valid response to a social problem that has escalated to intolerable levels of violence.
