A parliamentary group has presented a plan to protect the Civil Guard in the Strait, following the deaths of two officers in Huelva caused by a drug traffickers' boat. The proposal includes reinstating a specialized anti-drug unit in the south and reforming the Penal Code so that these crimes are tried by the National Court, avoiding pressure on local judges.
Technical means and non-lethal weapons for the fight against drug trafficking 🚔
The plan includes a reinforcement of material resources for officers, including the provision of non-lethal weapons and advanced surveillance systems. It seeks to declare the Campo de Gibraltar as a special attention area, which would allow coordinating technological resources such as drones and coastal radars. Penalties for drug trafficking are also toughened, and police work is recognized as a risk profession, improving the protection of prison staff.
The Government is conspicuously absent from the officers' funeral 😤
While politicians debate non-lethal weapons and new laws, the absence of government representatives at the funeral of the two Civil Guard officers has caused some unease. It seems some prefer to send virtual flowers rather than show up at the funeral home. Of course, for the photos at the next anti-drug summit, they'll surely be fighting to be in the front row.
