This has been confirmed this Thursday the minister of the Interior in office, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, who has also ahead of time that raises to increase the number of agents in the Autonomous Community. Marlaska has tried in this way to settle the doubts and dispel the criticism of some associations of the body that were generated from the agreement between PSOE and PNV for the investiture of Pedro Sanchez, reached last Monday. In the document, it establishes the transfer of the jurisdiction of traffic —as is already the case in the Basque Country, a work that until now has been undertaken by the institute assembled together to the regional police.

These words of Marlaska has served as a firewall after that various groups of the Body, such as the Association for Civil Guard and the Unified Association of Civil Guards, were asked to resign. The critical groups had warned that the change meant the transfer of 200 agents for in Navarre who work on the roads, something that the minister himself has denied this Thursday. The regional Executive of the socialist María Chivite gave the nod to the transfer —a demand that has made his own— and has “praised” the commitment of Pedro Sanchez.
