"We are going to join this new agreement promoted by the Family Counseling and the Federation of Municipalities, since this judicial measure has an educational character," explained the Mayor.
The City Council of Puerto Lumbreras is going to adhere to the collaboration agreement signed between the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia and the Federation of Municipalities of the Region of Murcia, so that minors with judicial measures can perform benefits for the benefit of the community.
Among the judicial measures that can be imposed by juvenile judges is the benefit to the community, which involves the performance of unpaid activities of social interest or benefit of people in precarious situation.
The mayor of Puerto Lumbreras, Mª Ángeles Tunisia, stressed that "we are going to join this new agreement promoted by the Family Council and the Federation of Municipalities, since this judicial measure is educational and seeks the social reintegration of minors ".
Tunisia explained that "the objective is that the minor does not react and be responsible for his actions, as well as the damages and damages he has caused."
Lastly, the Mayor said that "the most beneficial for the effectiveness of the measures is that they take place in the place closest to the minor and consist of activities related to the type of crime or misconduct."
It should be noted that the Directorate-General for Family and Social Policies, which is attached to the Family and Equal Opportunities Department, is responsible for following up on the action programs on measures taken by juvenile judges.
The programs it carries out are benefits for the Community, internment in educational centers for reform and also for intervention in an open environment.
