Editorial: El Español

  • PSOE, Sumar, Podemos, ERC, and BNG voted against considering the police and civil guards as 'profession at risk' in the Petitions Committee of the European Parliament.
  • Despite the opposition of the PSOE and its partners, the proposal was approved and will be debated again on March 19.
  • The proposal has been supported by the Spanish Police Confederation and several other security organizations.
  • In Spain, the Mossos, the Ertzaina, and others are considered 'profession at risk', but the national police and civil guards are not.
  • The PP included this proposal in its electoral program.
  • The editorial criticizes the labor discrimination of the police and civil guards compared to the Mossos and the Ertzaina.

Conclusion: It is pointed out that there are no valid reasons for not recognizing the police and civil guards as a 'profession at risk'. The refusal of the cited parties seems to reflect political aspects rather than an objective assessment of the profession.
