An institutional helplessness that undermines the fight against drug trafficking. The cold and distant reaction of the Government to the murder of two civil guards in Barbate (Cádiz) constitutes an exercise in indolence.
The blatant lack of institutional support for the security forces does not correspond to the severity and cruelty of the attack perpetrated by drug traffickers. The indifference of the Executive reveals the absence of official coverage up to the challenge of confronting organized crime. It is grotesque that the reinforcement troops are limited, as we reported today, to six civil guards. "They put him on a float against a drug boat," denounced the mother of one of the deceased agents.
