• The Civil Guard's report exposes the weakness and obsolescence of current vessels, an easy target for narco-boats.
• The lack of resources and agents, coupled with the inadequacy of protocols, have become evident after recent tragedies.
• The Government's response has been criticized as routine and lacking drive.
• Questions have been raised about the dismantling of the specialized unit Ocón Sur and the Government's posture regarding drug trafficking.
• Pro-government media outlets have cast unjust suspicions upon the Civil Guard.
• Drug trafficking in the Strait has escalated in violence, spurred by apparent governmental negligence.
• Current methods have allowed mafias to operate with better resources and greater violence.

Conclusion: The government's response to the upsurge in drug trafficking violence and its handling of this issue is inadequate and disappointing, fostering an environment of impunity and unjust suspicion towards the Civil Guard.
