Jucil Demands Justice One Year After the Murder of the Civil Guards in Barbate

The Majority Association of the Civil Guard, Jucil, has demanded justice in the Barbate case. When a year has passed since the murder of civil guards Daniel Núñez and Miguel Ángel González, run over by a drug boat.

This tragic event occurred while both officers were doing their job, fighting drug trafficking on the Cadiz coast.

Jucil has appeared as a popular prosecution and represents the interests of two of the colleagues who were on board the boat.

The professional association has emphasized the need to expedite the judicial process. Since a year after the incident, the case has not yet been solved.

Jucil's Secretary General, Ernesto Vilariño, pointed out that the situation in the area has not improved but has worsened since then.

Despite the passage of time, the Civil Guard still lacks the resources and means necessary to confront drug trafficking.

Frequent sightings of drug boats and small boats are a clear indication that the problem persists and is taking hold in coastal towns.

Vilariño also highlighted that this phenomenon has intensified, generating growing concern among the area's inhabitants.

The association requested at the time the opening of an investigation commission to clarify the facts and prevent them from happening again.

However, a year later, Jucil has regretted that no concrete measures have been taken to prevent similar future incidents.

According to Vilariño, the State has failed to guarantee the security of the security forces, leaving the officers without adequate means.

"Today we continue to face drug trafficking under conditions that endanger our lives," expressed the Secretary General.

Jucil denounces that, at a political and hierarchical level, there has been no effective reply to the murder of the civil guards.

"A year after the murders, no political responsibilities have been clarified nor among the commanders involved in the event," stated Vilariño.

For Jucil, the lack of measures and inaction by the authorities show that the drug trafficking problem remains unsolved.

The association has highlighted that the crime committed against the Civil Guard officers is just one of the many cases that are repeated.

Vilariño pointed out that, in addition to the drug traffickers, the officers face a growing lack of institutional support that endangers their work.

The President of Jucil asked the Spanish government to assume its responsibility in protecting the civil guards in their fight against crime.

The association also demanded greater investment in resources, technology, and training so that the officers can face these challenges.

Despite the efforts of the Civil Guard, the lack of means has considerably hindered the fight against drug trafficking gangs.
