The regional secretary of Security and Emergencies has said that “the Generalitat has a perfectly adequate system that monitors security and emergencies in all fields, especially for any type of leisure but it is important that we are able to adjust them to the particularities of each area.”

In his speech, the regional secretary said that in the Valencian Community “leisure constitutes a very important factor for the tourism sector. For this reason, establishments and premises must have guarantees of safe use.”
Montero explained that among the powers of the Generalitat “is security, through the regulation of all leisure activities, even extraordinary ones; and the National Police Unit attached to the Generalitat helps to guarantee this security.”
Referring to powers in emergencies. “Here, the 1·1·2 telephone line, responsible for communicating any type of emergency, plays a fundamental role, through which the rest pivots.”
