The Unified Association of Civil Guards (AUGC) has once again denounced the lack of rest for the agents who have been in charge of the special security detail during the holidays in Lanzarote of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, pointing out that they have spent 19 days without being able to take a day off and with a "growing discomfort."

Initially, the device was planned between August 2 and 15, when Sánchez was supposedly leaving the island to go to the Palacio de Las Marismillas, in Doñana (Huelva). However, Sánchez decided to alter his vacation plans and extend his stay at the Palacio de La Mareta in Costa Teguise. "And with it, that of the agents who are in charge of protecting him during the holidays," emphasizes the AUGC, which affirms that "he expressed his discomfort at this circumstance," affirming that the displaced agents, belonging to the Reserve and Security Group (GRS), had not been able to take a single day off.

"From AUGC we have had to denounce once again the lack of elementary principles of labor protection suffered by civil guards in their work compared to the rest of the police forces, where, due to their military character, knowing the demand for obedience and internal discipline, they force civil guards to fulfill their work despite everything," the association points out.

Now, having finished the president's vacation period in Lanzarote, he points out that "the colleagues will be able to recover the days they have stopped resting to attend to the last-minute changes of the socialist president, who on the fly decided to extend his vacations in the Canary Islands."
