Spanish hotspots set to slap £2,600 fines on reckless Brits as new plan emerges | World | News
Costa del Sol and other popular Spanish holiday hot spots plan fine tourists that do not openly fit the red flags on the beaches of the region. Since the Andalusian Regional Government claims that the death of dozens of drowning during a “tragic” summer is completely unacceptable, it is preparing an arrangement that will disrupt reckless behavior during freaks air, fire and situations.
The arrangement will include fines that act irresponsibly or recklessly and enter the sea when swimming is prohibited and will punish people who will enter the sea while the red flags fly. Those who do this are fined up to 3,000 euros (£ 2,600). Regional Minister Antonio Sanz said, “When there is 169 deaths in a heat wave, something happens to the public and something happens when there is a drowning, the red flags are raised and people continue to swim when they are strictly banned.” He said. “This law will break ground in Spain and will include a sanction regime to reduce risks and increase public awareness in emergencies.”
Andalusia is divided into eight states: Almería, Cádiz, Córdoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaén, Málaga and Seville.
The new edition was announced in the center of the Andalusian Security and Comprehensive Emergency Management Agency. In the public address, the minister mentioned a large number of deaths that expressed a surprise in the number of drowning in risky cases that occurred during the heat wave in August in Andalusia and exceeding the number of deaths from traffic accidents in some cases.
“If the rules are not complied with, there must be a fine.” “When swimming is prohibited, drowning on the beach cannot occur.”
The sanction regime will affect individuals and municipalities and contain fines for a wide variety of cases. In addition to fines, in addition to fines, in addition to the fines of the red flag periods in the event of fire, earthquakes or floods, there will be compelling measures that require strict compliance with the regulations for people who do not obey the authorities. For example, if a nine -storey building does not have a self -protection plan or sends it to the fire department, it may not get a occupancy permit.
The highest alarm red flag collected may be fined up to 3,000 euros to swim.
The future in the future, which is said to be the first in Spain, will force the planning for public activities, including the collection of more than 100 people or more than 10 kilometers of activities: concerts, football matches, religious passages and pilgrimage.
Emergency plans of the Municipal Assemblies will be registered electronically, plan for local companies and a series of obligations will be established in major meetings and events.
Tourists and Natives will also be said to act in warning and emergency situations and in meetings that are risky or potentially dangerous.
The Regional Minister also announced that the distribution of the distribution of 112 mini -guides for children as well as awareness campaigns with radio and television (RTVA), which will be expanded to other media organizations.
The decree, which is expected to enter into force before the next fire campaign, will create a behavior catalog which is accepted as high risk and thus subject to fines.
These include:
*Bathroom on Red Flag beaches: A rebellion act that will result in tragedy and will have economic consequences.
*Passing of closed rivers during flood (DANAS): It may be fatal to ignore warnings about the strength of water.
*Refusing to evacuate a house due to a fire threat: A selfish action that prevents extinguishing and endangers emergency services.
