The assignment of border control to Junts It continues to generate controversy where a socialist and more go if that socialist is Pedro Sánchez. Before the avalanche of criticism for the assignment, That not delegation, from this state competence to the Generalitat, the chief of the Executive wanted to go out and did so in his own way, with an affirmation that is far from being real: “The Mossos d’Esquadra are state security forces and bodies”. An assertion that does not coincide with what is established by Organic Law 2/1986, of March 13, on security forces and bodies.
In its ninth article, this standard already establishes that “the State Security Forces and Bodies (FCSE) They exercise their functions throughout the national territory“, there is plenty of saying that the competence scope of The Mossos is limited to Catalonia. Moreover, to avoid any mistake, this law determines that FCSE are made up of the National Police“which is an armed institute of civil nature, under the Minister of the Interior”, and the Civil Guard“which is an armed institute of military nature, under the Minister of the Interior, in the performance of the functions attributed to him, and the Minister of Defense in the fulfillment of the military missions that he or the government entrusts him.” Not a single mention of the Mossos or the Ertzaintza, As Sánchez intends to believe citizens, since both are regional police.
It must be remembered that this agreement signed between PSOE and Junts contemplates the assignment of immigration powers to Catalonia. What does this mean? Basically, that the Generalitat will manage the returns of foreigners (when they have a prohibition of entry), which would justify that the Mossos are on the border. They will also take care of the security of ports, airports and critical areasin coordination with national police and civil guards. And, one last note, they will also have competence for prevention, persecution and assistance to Victims of exploitation of human beings.
Why do they charge up to 10,000 euros more?
For all these reasons, it is now when the agreement reached a week ago between the Executive of Pedro Sánchez and the Generalitat, which approved a Progressive increase in Mossos agents up to 25,000 in 2030. Figure that, according to The new agreement will increase to 26,800. However, no matter how much the chores of the Catalan agents have triggered, according to the law, they remain autonomic police and in no case can competences that correspond to the State carry out.
It should be noted that Sánchez’s words, comparing some agents with others, has caused great discomfort among the different unions and associations of the National Police and the Civil Guard. And Sánchez has put it on a tray. Because you have to remember that while The Ertzaintza and the Mossos d’Esquadra are part of the list of risk professionsa recognition that the Sánchez government has denied innumerable occasions to police and civil guards.
And if all are members of the State Security Forces and Bodies, why the Executive allows a salary difference between them between 8,000 and 10,000 euros a year. A salary gap, in which regional police always win. But there is even more. To this we must add The early retirement to which Ertzainas and Mossos have access And national police and civil guards, no.
Marlaska resignation
Now, the last word is the Congress of Deputies that must support this kind of organic law agreed between the PSOE and Junts. In front you will encounter the opposition of PP, Vox, Podemos and some deputy of adding. A pact, branded by many of “racist” and “xenophobic”which will also have to face the courts. Both political formations and unions and associations of the National Police and the Civil Guard have already announced that they will go to the judicial route to “stop” this “nonsense”.
Meanwhile, in the rear, keeping absolute silenceInterior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska. The same that had no qualms about defending that border control was exclusive to the State and days later allowed this new varapalo to national police and civil guards. Thus, for dignity and coherence. For being the prime minister in democracy that “ABOUT” A SERIOUS ATTACK to the competitions of national police and civil guards in Catalonia. By his Inability to “stop this new onslaught of Catalan independence”… From all professional unions and associations they demand their resignation.
