He already made it clear in his electoral program. The Galego Nationalist Block (BNG) wants a “Comprehensive Galician Police” and thus expel national police officers. To do this, it raises the “progressive substitution” of these agents “in their functions of judicial police, traffic, citizen security and public order, and administrative police.” Functions that would be assumed by that “new” regional police.
And although The formation was strive to “deny it” in full electoral campaign, His electoral program revealed his true intentions. So much so, that he even planned to promote approval in the Congress of Deputies of a “Proposition of Organic Law of Transfer of Competencies in Transit and Road Safety.” Because its objective is none other, and they pointed it from the opposition, which Get a kind of Mossos d’Esquadra or Ertzaintza to the Galician.
Well, taken to the lower house, to expel the Civil Guard of Galicia and its replacement by an autonomous police, the executive’s response seems ambiguous. Specifically, it is Vox who asks the Executive for his opinion about this BNG proposal and if he has thought “Defend the presence of State Security Forces and Bodies” In this autonomy. Far from resolving doubts, the Government maintains in its parliamentary response that “it cannot assess the political will of the deployment of an autonomic police force in the Autonomous Community of Galicia, taking into account that The Spanish Constitution covers that rightprovided that it is collected by its statute of autonomy. “
“Theft” of competences in Catalonia or Navarra
At this point and, after making clear the viability of a Galician police, the “nuances” arise. From the Sánchez executive they take the opportunity to get out of the accusations of “abandonment” of the Civil Guard and “Theft” of competences in the Basque Country, Catalonia or Navarra And they ensure that “it continues to perform its functions with an adequate organization and adapted to the security needs of said autonomous community, maintaining its firm commitment to a quality service, based on the proximity to the citizen and the guarantee of a quick and effective response, maintaining for this purpose a close collaboration and coordination with other police bodies and organizations and ensuring the protection of the rights and freedoms of citizenship. “
A manida and manual response, to which the Interior Ministry, directed by Fernando Grande-Marlaska, and that does not convince the agents, as they demonstrate the multiple demonstrations for the loss of powers in several regions of Spain. But the government insists on criticism: “The Civil Guard continues to offer its services to citizens and perform their functions in autonomous communities that have autonomic police bodies. “
A vision that is far from that offered by the agents, which denounce the loss of competences by the Assignment of the Executive to the desires of its independence partners. Thus, they denounce that the government continues “a recurring pattern.” After the tragedy of the Dana in the Valencian Community and Castilla-La Mancha, the civil guards were “relegated from their competences in citizen security” in the affected populations, despite this body who holds the powers in those cities.
Controversy is also the loss of competencies of Traffic in Navarra or ports and airports in the Basque Countryin this case in favor of Ertzaintza. It must be remembered that in the middle of December last year, Pedro Sánchez put his rubric at the service of EH Bildu and ratified, through the Official State Gazette (BOE), the expulsion of the Civil Traffic guards of Navarra. In the case of Catalonia, agents denounce that “The expulsion of the Civil Guard has been running for years”with the “reduction of troops” or their exclusion in key areas such as the prosecutor, ports, airports, maritime security and Seprona.
