Overview
- Madrid formally requested a full review of VioGén risk criteria after recent victims were labeled low risk, citing 42 user incidents with the Cometa monitoring system and anxiety caused by false alerts.
- Murcia called for a more dynamic, predictive risk model that factors in digital abuse, does not rely solely on a police complaint, and uses AI to detect approach patterns and close device coverage gaps.
- Equality Minister Ana Redondo proposed barring alternative sentences for repeat perpetrators and pledged tighter post‑release monitoring in coordination with the Prosecutor’s Office and the judicial council.
- Redondo urged wider municipal integration into VioGén to strengthen local tracking of repeat offenders, noting that only about one in three towns with local police are currently connected.
- Authorities reported 13 gender‑based murders so far this year, the worst start since 2020, prompting repeated crisis committee meetings to examine failures and accelerate fixes.
