It was a press conference with the police chief and all that. A journalist asked this question:

Question: "What are some preventive measures that women have? Personnally, I have no idea. How can we, as women, protect ourselves in these kind of situations? What do you recommend?"

The mayor's response: "Well, there's always the possibility of keeping a certain distance, one that is longer than a arm lenght. People should make a conscious decision to not be too close to people you don't really trust. But there are other ways, like moving in group or not getting seperate. Also, not getting carried away by the festivities and deciding to follow other people, but to always stay with the group you started the festivities with."

(My own translation)

Thank you.

So normal protection measures against any crime. She is skirting the issue and should have had the police answer the question.

Yeah, but common sense is victim blaming.
