The 2026 Motín Festival in Aranjuez will feature a security deployment of 440 Local and National Police personnel, according to the Local Security Board.
The 2026 Motín Festival in Aranjuez will have a special security device made up of 440 personnel from Local Police and National Police, who will ensure the smooth running of over 50 events scheduled between September 2 and 6.
The plan was discussed this morning at the meeting of the Local Security Board, chaired by the mayor, Miguel Gómez Herrero, and attended by the first deputy mayor and delegate for Citizen Security, José de Ruz Fernández, the delegate for Festivals, María Belmonte González, and representatives from the Government Delegation of Spain in Madrid, the Civil Guard, National Heritage, and the General Directorate of Security of the Community of Madrid.
The Special Security Plan, developed by the Citizen Security Delegation through the Local Police and in coordination with the National Police, Civil Guard, and Civil Protection, establishes the planning to prevent and respond to potential risk situations during the celebrations. The deployment covers all events and pays special attention to citizen safety, crowd control, traffic regulation, and the evacuation of people in case of emergency.
As part of this deployment, Local Police and National Police will provide a total of 440 services, with the participation of specialized units such as the Prevention and Reaction Unit (UPR), the Mobile Brigade, and the Cavalry Unit. This year, the Local Police Canine Unit will be included, featuring the dog GAR, specialized in detecting narcotic substances, which will enhance prevention efforts.
The deployment will also include aerial support through drones. The urban areas under surveillance with these devices will be properly marked. Additionally, the Fairgrounds will have a Meeting Point with police presence to facilitate assistance and locating individuals in case of need.
The macro-disco, located at Raso de la Estrella, will have two access points to avoid overcrowding and facilitate the entry and exit of attendees. Reasons for denial of entry or expulsion include: entering with glass containers or objects, narcotic, psychotropic, or stimulant substances; carrying or using weapons or objects that may produce similar effects; participating in disturbances, fights, or brawls; and introducing or possessing flares, firecrackers, explosives, or flammable materials.
The City Council of Aranjuez thanks the volunteers from Civil Protection, who will once again be part of the deployment and provide support during the various activities.
