Madrid orders to review the closure orders of premises to avoid events like the one in Murcia

José Luis Martínez-Almeida has ordered to prioritize an immediate review of the status of the closure orders filed against nightlife venues in the capital to "prevent" events such as those recorded in Murcia this past weekend from occurring.

The mayor of Madrid has reacted in this way just one day after the Murcia City Council announced that the Teatro and Fonda Milagros nightclubs, which burned down in the early hours of last Sunday and where at least thirteen people died, lacked a municipal license and had a order to cease activity since 2002.

The ordered review will also include verification of the status of expired premises licenses and that the premises comply with "all the city's urban planning conditions."

The mother of one of the victims of the Madrid Arena, the tragic event that claimed the lives of five young people in the early hours of November 1, 2012 in the capital, has criticized that no inspector detected that the clubs in the Murcia fire in which Thirteen people have died without permits.

"May those responsible rot in hell," Isabel de la Fuente has written on her social networks, who regrets that in the end "the dead stay in their graves and the murderers in their homes" in reference to the people who in the case of their daughter, they are now free after serving their sentences for what happened that night in the Madrid Arena pavilion.

Cristina Arce's mother criticizes that no one detected that the burned nightclubs did not have a permit and alludes in her message to the statements of La Fonda's lawyer in which he maintains that the license has been burned by the fire, which destroyed the two premises.

"The papers have been burned. The blame is going to be on some, on others, on the cha-cha-chá... they are going to lie and mess around until the blame lies with the dead. Did no inspector really detect that There were no permits?? At what time is a nightclub inspected to catch it open???? In the end the dead stay in their graves and the murderers in their homes. How disgusting of everything!!!", the posted message includes in his account, which adds "may those responsible rot in hell."
