Just a week ago, the Spanish police attended the “embarrassment” speech of the Socialist Europarliamentary gone in the European Parliament. An intervention in which the PSOE again showed his contempt for the proposal of a directive whose objective was to declare Risk profession To the agents. A fact that clashes with the attitude of the Italian Executive that, beyond the political confrontation, has approved a series of measures to support the authority of the agents and harden the Criminal Code.
It should be noted that, as they point out from the Spanish Police Confederation (CEP), promoter since 2023 of this directive in the Eurocamara, while the PSOE ensures that the police officers only add “from time to time”the Italian Council of Ministers “has rowed and carried out a battery of measures that have as priority that those who play life in the street, we can do it with more means.” Thus, they insist that while Media Spain is already a risk profession, Pedro Sánchez’s executive refuses to support Spanish agents and restore the principle of authorityas they have done in Italy.
“The measure launched in Italy introduces a aggravating crime of violence or threat and resistance to a public official if the fact is committed against an officer or agent of the Judicial Police or Public Security, so that there will be An increase in penalty up to half, “they point out from this police union. Because in Italy, they point out, there are two articles of the Criminal Code dedicated to violence or threat and resistance against officials. In both cases, punished between six months and five years in prison.
New crime of injuries to police
Now, with this reform, if the victim of these crimes is a policeman, the chances of the author to enter prison increase exponentially because, in addition to including the agents under that umbrella, The offender is prevented from benefiting from mitigating that are not the minority of age. In Spain, as they have denounced from the CEP on repeated occasions, “hitting a policeman has a punishment between six months and three years in prison, so that in practice the aggressor comes out total.”
But there is more. The Italian regulatory project includes a new crime of injuries to police, which would be punished with imprisonment from 2 to 5 years (if the injuries are simple), from 4 to 10 years (if they are serious) and From 8 to 16 years (if they are very serious). It also foresees the possibility of providing bodily cameramates, dedicating A game of 23.48 million euros in three years (In Spain the budget dedicated to this matter in seven years does not reach 13.5 million). And in terms of legal protection, create a Economic benefit for judicial expenses for investigated police In criminal processes as a result of their work, with 10,000 euros for each phase of the procedure.
And while that happens in Italy, in Spain the Ministry of Interior, which directs Fernando Grande-Marlaska, “Wash your hands with our rights”. Therefore, from the CEP they have been in collective conflict for a year, without lending ourselves to be the docile comparsa of whom “passes’ Olympically of the police.”
