The Directorate of the Civil Guard is arming itself with arguments to try to demonstrate that Jucil – the majority association in the Armed Institute – has broken the principle of political neutrality that binds all members of the body. A tweet in which they accused the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, of committing “the greatest crime” for the amnesty proposal was the last straw to initiate disciplinary or criminal proceedings, but as La Vanguardia has learned, the Civil Guard has expanded its communication to legal advice with fifteen tweets in which the Government is criticized.
According to a spokesperson for the department headed by Fernando Grande-Marlaska, "certain associations have been called to account for some time now." Jucil, he considers, "has repeatedly exceeded the limits of union defense to believe himself to be a kind of political actor, confusing the legitimate purposes of his activity and corrupting the values of the Civil Guard."
The message on The personal interest of an individual above the freedom of the Spanish people.” This tweet remains the first message anchored in the association's profile.
After learning of the intentions of the Civil Guard Directorate, Jucil issued a statement this morning in which it accuses the Ministry of the Interior of preventing them from exercising their right to freedom of expression. According to the association, freedom of expression is a legitimate right of all Spaniards, "also of those of us who are proudly part of this Armed Institute, but which the Ministry intends to take away from the representatives of Jucil."
In that statement Jucil denounces that the general director of the Civil Guard, Leonardo Marcos, "has taken another step in his attempt to intimidate, but above all to silence, silence and prevent freedom of expression among the civil guards, who seek to deny what the Constitution grants them: Their right as citizens to freely express their opinions."
Late this Monday the Civil Guard moved to expand the report sent to the legal services. This document, to which La Vanguardia has had access, contains comments that question the PSOE's agreements with Bildu or the decision to maintain the anti-terrorist alert level at 4, instead of raising it to 5.
The vast majority of the messages collected correspond to the JUCIL Vizcaya social network account X. In addition to the amnesty, which they see as unconstitutional and demand that it not be negotiated "in the name" of the Security Forces, the association defends that "Bildu is ETA" and urges its illegalization, appealing to "gutsy politicians" and the memory of the civil guards murdered by the terrorist organization.
"Giving in to blackmail against the independentists is giving a Red Bulls to a hyperactive child," is stated in a tweet by JUCIL Álava on another occasion, retweeted by other accounts of the association in Córdoba and Huelva opposed to including the State Security Forces. in the amnesty law, as proposed by the vice president and leader of Sumar, Yolanda Díaz.
"Marlaska refuses to raise the anti-terrorist alert because Podemos does not want soldiers on the street," JUCIL tweeted in another comment on social networks and which is now being studied for going against the "neutrality" of the Armed Institute.
Another of the issues criticized by JUCIL is the transfer to the Peninsula of migrants who arrived in cayucos to the Canary Islands, which it denounces is done in "clandestine buses" and "without knowing if they are terrorists."
