The Town Hall of Ciempozuelos has announced the launch of a special security device for the 2026 Patron Saint Festivities. The operation includes a Violet Point, a space for attention and information for victims of sexist assaults, and a safe taxi service to facilitate returning home during the festive nights.
The Violet Point will be staffed by specialised personnel and will offer direct assistance to those who suffer or witness any type of harassment or sexist assault. This resource adds to the usual measures at large events in the locality, aiming to ensure celebrations free from violence.
The safe taxi will operate as a protected transport service, available at night, so that residents can move securely between different celebration points and their homes. The Town Hall has not yet detailed the exact stops or specific schedules, which will be communicated in the coming days.
Both measures are part of the municipal prevention and security plan for the festivities, which will take place on the usual dates in September. The council will keep informing through its official channels of any updates regarding the operation.
