The City Council of Córdoba has implemented concrete measures to address the issues related to the celebrations of the May Crosses, which have been marked by excessive drinking, noise, litter accumulation, and conflicts with residents. These measures focus on ensuring safety, mobility, and order during these festive events.
Among the planned actions is the installation of surveillance cameras at the ten busiest crosses, as well as the creation of an operations coordination center similar to that used during Holy Week. In addition, specific safety and mobility plans will be established for the crosses with the highest attendance, noise levels will be reduced after a certain hour, and closing time limits will be imposed.
These measures are expected to not only address the existing problems but also deter excessive drinking and foster a more controlled and safe festive environment. The organizing entities of the Crosses will have to take on a series of responsibilities, such as reducing noise levels and collaborating on crowd control, with the aid of a mobile computer system.
The proposals presented have been well-received by the participants of the commission responsible for addressing these issues, which includes brotherhoods, associations, and neighbors. It is expected that the proposed measures will help improve coexistence during the May Crosses celebrations and ensure that these events take place in an orderly manner and with respect for the surroundings.
The City Council of Córdoba is already taking concrete actions to address these situations and promote a safer and more controlled festive environment during the May Crosses celebrations.
