Neither comprehensive police during the celebration of the America's Cup, nor even at this time the direction of the Security Master Plan of the sporting event that will be held next year in Barcelona. The Government Delegation in Catalonia released a brief statement yesterday denying that any decision has been made today about who has to do what during the America's Cup, but they do warn that there will be no transfer of jurisdiction or on land nor in sea. In other words, the assumption of the security of sports events at sea will continue to be at the hands of the Civil Guard and not of the Mossos d'Esquadra, as announced on Thursday by the Minister of the Interior, Joan Ignasi Elena, during the celebration of the Meeting Local Security of Barcelona.
The Delegation's statement is nothing more than four points pointing out that no meeting related to the sporting event has even been held. But in parallel and throughout today, sources from the Ministry of the Interior have shown their "perplexity" by the announcement of the Interior when no formal meeting had been held and there had only been previous conversations in which a compromise had been reached. that the Mossos would carry the weight of the device on land, and that they had the Catalan police boats for deployment at sea, but always maintaining that the only competence is the Civil Guard.
