Jupol demands the resignation of Marlaska and announces a complaint over the minister's messages to the 'number two' of the Interior

The Jupol National Police union demanded the resignation of the head of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, after the revelations of EL MUNDO that the current minister asked the number two of the Interior, Francisco Martínez, to favor a police command in the concession of a post of Interior Attaché in an embassy. The union considered it “inadmissible”. Jupol assures that he will file a lawsuit against Grande-Marlaska for influence peddling.

This information, in the opinion of the general secretary of Jupol, Aarón Rivero, “does nothing more than confirm the complaints that have been made for years from Jupol, related to the existing plugism in the leadership of the National Police, especially in relation to the police posts in embassies abroad». In this context, Rivero gave several examples of the favorable treatment that he denounces.

«Marlaska has sent the head of the UIP responsible for devices such as those of the so-called marches for dignity or the 1-O device in Catalonia to the Russian Embassy. In the same way, the former deputy director of Human Resources of the National Police, directly responsible for the lack of material and labor organization to guarantee the safety and health of the police during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Jupol also recalls that the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the National Court annulled last November the assignment of four commissioners to the embassies of Bogotá, Havana, Mexico City and Moscow due to lack of motivation for the minister's appointments inland. A decision that was made firm last January and that from Jupol criticize that to this day it continues without being executed.

The judgment of the National Court recognizes the lack of criteria in the allocation of jobs for national police officers in embassies abroad: “The Chamber cannot reach a solution favorable to the Administration, understanding, in effect, that The appealed resolution is not duly motivated as it does not offer any explanatory element of the reason why it preferred the chosen candidates instead of the appellee».
