  • The death of two civil guards run over by a drug boat in Barbate should be a turning point in the fight against drug trafficking in the Strait.
  • The region has been devastated for decades by the impunity of organized crime.
  • There's a fertile ground for drug trafficking due to a depressed economic area, with young people tempted by drug money and a diminished police force, with 40% requesting transfers every year.
  • Interior Minister, Grande-Marlaska, finds himself in an unsustainable position after dismantling the South Drug Trafficking Coordination Agency 16 months ago.
  • Marlaska has been involved in various scandals such as the De los Cobos case, the Caso Cuarteles, immigration management, and his policy of concessions to ETA.

Conclusion: Given the escalating crisis, Marlaska's immediate resignation is called for. The response to drug trafficking in the area must be immediately reassessed to control this threat.
