Fuengirola locals say they still feel abandoned as police fail to tackle naked man and noisy park gangs

Fuengirola residents continue to feel abandoned as authorities struggle to address two ongoing issues in their town. One is a homeless man who wanders naked through the streets, urinating openly and making obscene remarks to women and girls. Another is a group of noisy young men gathered in the nearby park, causing disturbances late at night.

The homeless man's behavior has left shopkeepers and neighbors feeling unsafe and frustrated. They have demanded the police take action, such as removing him, cleaning him up, and taking him to court for indecent exposure. Despite numerous fines from local police and the availability of social services, the man remains uncooperative and continues his disruptive behavior.

Residents question why officers have not simply dealt with the man, given the potential harm to public image and tourism. The town council has referred the situation to the prosecutor's office and local court, but locals are skeptical that enough officers are patrolling the streets to make a difference.

Nearby Parque España, another group of residents is equally exasperated by the nightly noise and shouting from a group of young men, many believed to be of North African origin. While there is no evidence of serious crime, the disturbances have left people feeling abandoned and worried about their safety, especially during the night.

The council has announced additional foot patrols and training for new officers, but many locals remain unconvinced that sufficient police presence is being provided. The slow response to these quality-of-life issues highlights a pattern of bureaucratic inaction, leaving the town's residents questioning why help still feels so far away.
