The favors of the left to drug trafficking and their bloody result for the Spanish Civil Guard

The attitude of weakness and negligence on the part of the government towards all types of criminals ended yesterday in a new misfortune.

The favors to ETA for which Pedro Sánchez does not want anyone to talk about those terrorists
Mauritania and the cost to Spain of having a bad ruler who yields to blackmail

In Barbate (Cádiz), some drug traffickers attacked a Civil Guard boat manned by six agents, murdering two civil guards. For years now, police unions and anti-drug associations have been demanding more resources for the Civil Guard and the National Police in the Campo de Gibraltar region, which suffers a serious problem of violent crime related to drug trafficking.

The requests for police reinforcements that the government ignored

The political opposition has presented requests to reinforce police forces in the area, but the coalition government of socialists (PSOE) and communists ( Podemos ) ignored them:

• In September 2020, Vox asked to declare that region as an "area of special singularity" to protect agents from anti-drug trafficking operations, provide them with more resources and support units. The government did not heed that request, refusing to recognize the lack of resources of the Civil Guard in that region .
• In December 2020, Ciudadanos presented a question to the government in the Senate about whether it planned to grant the Campo de Gibraltar an area of special uniqueness. The government avoided the issue in its response.
• En febrero de 2021, el PSOE, Podemos y sus socios separatistas votaron en contra de una petición en la Comisión de Interior del Senado para la creación de una zona de especial singularidad en el Campo de Gibraltar.
• In May 2021, in the Interior Commission of Congress, the PSOE and Podemos voted against a petition in the same sense that had been presented by the Popular Party. The vote took place a day after a wave of drug-related riots in the area.
• In November 2021, the PSOE and Podemos knocked down an amendment to improve the salary of Security Forces agents in that region, amendment presented by the PP.
• In January 2023, Ciudadanos asked to declare Campo de Gibraltar as an area of special singularity through a non-legal proposal in Congress.
• In March 2023, Vox once again claimed the area of special singularity for Campo de Gibraltar, presenting a non-legal proposal in Congress.
• In May 2023, the government refused to declare the Campo de Gibraltar as an area of special singularity, in response to a question from the PP in Congress, in which "the complicated conditions in which they live" were pointed out agents of the National Police and the Civil Guard."
• In November 2023, Vox once again requested the area of special uniqueness for the Campo de Gibraltar, this time through a non-law proposal in committee of the Parliament of Andalusia. To this day, the government still has not declared it.

After years of ignoring all those requests from the opposition, police unions and anti-drug associations, the Minister of the Interior stated yesterday that the Campo de Gibraltar is already "almost de facto" an area of special uniqueness. He said it hours before some drug traffickers murdered three civil guards, in a new demonstration of the lack of resources of our Security Forces.

The surprising dismantling of an elite anti-drug unit

Let us also remember an event as strange and surprising as the one that occurred in October 2022, when the government dismantled the OCON-Sur, an elite unit to fight drug trafficking made up of 150 civil guards and which operated precisely in the Campo de Gibraltar region. A year later, faced with the serious effects of the dissolution of that unit, an association of the Guard Civil noted: "The drug traffickers applaud the dismantling of the OCON-SUR."

The same as what has been done with the ETA terrorists and with the authors of the sepatatist coup in Catalonia, the government of Pedro Sánchez has acted in relation to the Campo de Gibraltar as if he had not the slightest interest in offering the Civil Guard and the National Police the necessary means to combat drug traffickers.

"Only 20% of the drugs that enter our coast are intercepted"

The insistent rejection of these requests by the left only deserves to be interpreted as a favor from the left to drug trafficking, a favor for which the government owes an explanation to all Spaniards. Let us keep in mind that a year ago, the Unified Police Union (SUP) denounced that "only 20% of the drugs that enter our coast are intercepted" and denounced "the deficiencies of material, personnel and resources available to the security forces and bodies".

Does this government have any interest in facilitating the work of drug traffickers? How does it explain its negligent attitude in the face of this serious wave of crime while mobilizing a thousand riot police to protect its national headquarters and the Goya awards in front to the protests that Spanish farmers have scheduled?
