The professional association JUCIL has expressed its outrage over what it considers an 'abandonment' by the Civil Guard's General Directorate towards the agents of the main post in Roquetas de Mar. The union organization criticizes the 'absolute silence' regarding the future of these personnel, while plans for the arrival of the National Police in the municipality are made public.
JUCIL deems it unacceptable that dozens of civil guards and their families are learning about decisions that directly affect their professional future through the media. After months of uncertainty, the association regrets that neither the Civil Guard's General Directorate, the Ministry of the Interior, nor the Government Sub-delegation in Almería have provided any explanations.
“"The General Directorate has abandoned the civil guards of Roquetas, who have been serving here for decades and continue to receive no official information."
The association recalls that it has requested explanations through various written communications addressed to the Civil Guard's General Directorate and the Ministry of the Interior, without receiving a response. Furthermore, a meeting request submitted in April to the Government Sub-delegate in Almería has also gone unanswered after two months.
“"The least these agents deserve is transparency. The future of such an important unit cannot be managed in this way, while those serving in it are kept in uncertainty. The treatment these professionals and their families are receiving is a disgrace. Their future is being played with without offering the slightest information."
JUCIL emphasizes that the main post in Roquetas de Mar has numerous civil guards with postings of years, even decades, who have developed their careers and established their family lives in the town. The administrative silence is causing 'enormous concern' among the agents, who are unaware of their continuity in the municipality, the future of the unit, or the impact of the new policing model on their jobs.
The association reminds that this unit is one of the busiest in Spain, handling over 12,000 official reports and 1,000 arrests annually, despite a persistent deficit in personnel and resources. They have repeatedly denounced the deterioration of facilities, the lack of adequate vehicles, the absence of on-site holding cells, and the recent decision not to fill vacancies or assign trainee guards.
In light of the announcement regarding the National Police deployment, JUCIL demands immediate information from the Civil Guard's General Directorate and the Ministry of the Interior about the future of the main post, the Civil Guard's responsibilities, and the administrative and professional situation of the agents stationed in Roquetas de Mar.
