Push for Campo de Gibraltar Special Singularity Status

City leadership used the patron saint commemorations to reiterate demands for the surrounding region. Landaluce pledged that the municipal government will remain an ally to the National Police force.

The mayoral administration committed to continuing its advocacy for increased staffing levels and better material resources for the Algeciras Comisaría.
