"The attacks on members of the State Security Forces and Corps do not cease, on the contrary, they continue to increase without the Ministry of the Interior and the Government itself lifting a finger to alleviate the seriousness of this situation," they have started from the Spanish Association of Civil Guards. "The latest ones recorded in our community are from the last 48 hours," they highlighted.
This Civil Guard union states that "an aggression committed in the field of gender violence in Costa Teguise resulted in two injured agents who went to a hotel in the area after a call from an English woman who was suffering gender violence from her partner."
According to this statement, "it was precisely this individual who, upon seeing his wife with the agents, began to insult her and punch the civil guards in the face, head, and nose, even trying to put his fingers in the eyes of one of the agents."
The second of the aggressions suffered by civil guards this weekend in Las Palmas was recorded in San Bartolomé, at the Cesar Manrique airport, as La Voz already reported, when two tourists in a state of intoxication, at the request of the commander of the aircraft, refused to leave the plane. Upon the arrival of a Civil Guard patrol, the two women did not change their attitude, especially one of them who attacked the agents by biting, scratching, and kicking them.
In both cases, AEGC will appear as a plaintiff.
From AEGC, an Association that includes all jobs and ranks of the Civil Guard, they have denounced that they have been "years demanding that we be trained and provided with very specific means: paralyzing electric pistols. An essential work tool, which we have in very small quantities, not only to guarantee the safety of the civil guards, but also to be able to act proportionally to the continuous aggressions we suffer."
In addition, they have also demanded "that the profession be considered at risk. How can it be that almost a quarter of the 21st century has passed and the civil guards, who have suffered severely from the blow of terrorism, have to continue demanding to be a profession at risk?", they added.
To conclude, they pointed out "this reluctance on the part of the Executive, and more specifically the tenant of the Ministry of the Interior, is one more example of the indifference that this government feels for all of us who are part of the Civil Guard."
The union has assured that this indifference "translates into a lack of means and little interest they seem to have in our integrity. If a private company had this attitude towards its workers, the Ministry of Labor would have already taken measures to guarantee compliance with the Occupational Risk Law, but since they are civil servants, the last civil servants in the hierarchy, their safety is of no interest, even to the director general himself."
