The murder of two Civil Guard officers in the port of Huelva has plunged the region into mourning and outrage. This is not an accident, but the result of a decade of ignored warnings about the lack of material and human resources to combat drug trafficking on the Huelva coast, where mafias operate with an impunity that cries to heaven.
Drones and satellites: the technological gap against crime 🛰️
While criminal organizations use semi-submersible vessels and state-of-the-art drones for their operations, security forces patrol with outdated radars and boats that cannot match the speed of narco boats. The lack of an integrated satellite surveillance system and high-precision coastal sensors turns the fight into an uneven duel. The technology exists, but its implementation in Huelva remains a pending issue.
The new plan: wait for the narcos to get bored 😴
After the double murder, the government promises a special plan. It will surely include more meetings, more study commissions, and, of course, a new video surveillance system that will be installed just when the traffickers have already moved to another beach. Meanwhile, agents will continue to juggle laughable budgets and vests that look like they are from a flea market. The solution is simple: make the narcos tired of waiting.
