Córdoba city faces traffic police shortage amid safety concerns

Residents of Córdoba have reported a noticeable absence of traffic agents at key intersections and around busy venues such as the Mercado Revolución and the Pedro Díaz Theatre. The shortage has led to increased congestion and reduced pedestrian protection, especially during peak times and public events.

Critics point to the municipal administration led by Mayor Manuel Alonso Cerezo for failing to address the problem. The issue intensified after the recent murder of a traffic officer, raising questions about the safety of personnel and the authority’s capacity to maintain order on the streets.
