The tributes continue to the two civil guards who died last Friday in Barbate (Cádiz) when their GEAS boat was hit by a drug boat. Luis, a Navy sergeant stationed in that province, has made public an emotional farewell letter to his friend Miguel Ángel González, one of the deceased agents.
In the letter, published by La Voz de Cádiz, he acknowledges that he never thought he would have to write anything like this. "This is my friend Miguel, who, unfortunately, is now on the scene of the happy news programs. I would never have thought of publishing something like this, no one thinks about it or imagines it, much less wants it, and although I don't know if I'm right in doing so, something He tells me it's fair and that's how it comes to me," he explains.
Luis remembers how he met his friend Miguel Ángel González, who was affectionately called "Migue": "It was in 2015 through my friend Salvi. 'Migue', barely knowing me, invited me to join him at the gym I own. close to home, to erase me from the other one, he told me, that with him I was going to get in shape and that, in addition, we would have a good time in classes. We hit it off right away, the good way."
This civil guard is full of praise for González. "He was the soul of the class, he greeted everyone when they arrived, smiling as was normal; I would say obligatory; in his civilian uniform, he made jokes, four jokes and ran. He ran fast, because he was a great athlete, passionate about sports. handball and, every time I doubled in the warm-up, he gave me a sardinet," he continues.
He remembers that he was "passionate about his profession, even more so about his beloved diving, which he practiced as much or more in his free time in the form of underwater fishing. A tireless lover of the sea."
Upon hearing the news of the drug traffickers' attack, she immediately thought of him: "When I saw the news on television, I couldn't help but think of him, even though it didn't make any sense for him to be there. When I saw the video at night in the networks, I remembered him again, thinking that he would know what had happened and that I had to ask him. It made no sense for him to be there.
He assures that he will never forget the scenes of pain when he went to the headquarters. "What I experienced there was devastating. The shock of arriving there and hugging mutual friends without my brain understanding anything of what was happening. The image of his girlfriend crying hugging her daughter, only twelve years old, her father , a great sailor, barely able to walk or speak," he continues in his letter, collected by this means.
Luis also denounces "the fortuitous appearance of the politician on duty." "Your father told the guy that this should not have happened, that it was not about the left or the right, that they had sent you to die. Your girlfriend, then, with you already present, also told him four things about the great botch that, among some, some who have never wet their suit or uniform, they wove and sent you," he adds.
This civil guard ends up asking for more resources for the agents in charge of fighting drug trafficking, although he acknowledges that he does not trust that anything will change: "I wish this would serve a purpose, Miguel, but we have no faith. I hope the heads of those who sent you will roll. to the Grim Reaper... I wish you would answer my message about what happened. I hope, Miguel, I hope in this country those who call themselves politicians and who are nothing more than henchmen of drug trafficking will disappear."
