The Andalusian People's Party denounces the absolute neglect to which the Pedro Sánchez government subjects the National Police and the Civil Guard in the region. While Drug trafficking is spreading unchecked along the Andalusian coast. And as violence escalates, the central government continues to fail to respond to the repeated requests for reinforcement of material and human resources demanded by the State Security Forces.
"The Sánchez government has sold out our Civil Guard and National Police officers," said Antonio Repullo, secretary general of the Andalusian People's Party.How many more warnings are needed for the Spanish Government to act and guarantee the safety of its citizens and those who protect us every day?", they ask from the formation led by Juanma Moreno.

The Andalusian People's Party (PP) demands more resources for the Civil Guard to combat the spread of drug trafficking.
The Andalusian People's Party (POP) points out that the Andalusian coast has become one of the most critical areas in Europe due to the pressure of drug trafficking, especially in Campo de Gibraltar, the Costa del Sol, and the Huelva coast. Faced with this growing threat, Civil Guard agents risk their lives without the resources they deserve..
The Andalusian Government is doing its job, but we need the commitment of the Spanish Government. The fight against drug trafficking does not depend on political authority or political affiliation; it is a matter of state.The government of Juanma Moreno has repeatedly called on the Ministry of the Interior to increase its number of personnel and provide the necessary resources to protect both Civil Guard officers and the Andalusian population.
Declaration of Campo de Gibraltar as an area of special uniqueness
The Andalusian People's Party (PP) is demanding that the Sánchez government declare Campo de Gibraltar a special zone of special interest, a measure long demanded by Civil Guard officers. This measure would compensate for the danger and difficulty of this destination, facilitating the arrival of more troops and improving their working conditions..
The central government's abandonment is total. There are no reinforcements, there is no recognition of the uniqueness of Campo de Gibraltar, and no progress has been made in declaring officers a high-risk profession. We cannot allow the sacrifice and dedication of the Civil Guard to continue without the support they deserve.
The Sánchez government is ceding powers while abandoning the Civil Guard and National Police.
In this regard, the unions denounce the "illegal" transfer of powers to the regional police forces.In addition to being a disgrace, it represents an unnecessary danger for Spain and Europe. We will not allow citizens to be deprived of a fundamental right such as security.", they explain in one of the manifestos.
For the unions and associations of the Police and Civil Guard, a regional police force "cannot assume functions that, constitutionally, correspond exclusively to the Civil Guard and the National Police." "It is unacceptable that the President of the Government accompanies pro-independence groups in their attempt to dismantle the State and its institutions," they conclude.
Sánchez looks the other way: drug trafficking is advancing, violence is rising, and officers are still without resources.
Violence on the Andalusian coast continues to increase. Clashes with mafias are increasingly bloody, and the use of weapons of war by drug traffickers is a real and growing threat.Sánchez has to decide which side he's on. Either he stands with the officers who risk their lives every day to protect citizens, or he continues to give in to political interests while drug trafficking takes over Andalusia.
The Andalusian People's Party insists that the situation facing the Civil Guard in Andalusia is unsustainable. Despite repeated warnings, Pedro Sánchez's administration continues to ignore the demands of officers and Andalusian institutions.
The Andalusian People's Party (PP) demands an immediate response from the central government. They demand more material and human resources, the declaration of areas of special uniqueness such as Campo de Gibraltar, the reestablishment of units such as OCON-Sur, and recognition of the work of the Civil Guard and the National Police. in Andalusia as a high-risk profession.
"Drug trafficking is on the rise, violence is on the rise, and law enforcement is still short of resources. How many more warnings are needed?, which maintains its commitment to security in Andalusia and supports the men and women of the Civil Guard who defend the rule of law every day.
