The acting Interior Minister, Fernando Grande Marlaska , has pointed out that the presence of infiltrators trying to radicalize protests in other summits that "seek to have a leading role" is an "objective" fact . And he has quoted yellow or black vests. '', Anarchists, radicals ... " We are prepared to guarantee the rights of citizens," he said, of those who participate in the summit of heads of state and those who " exercise their right to demonstrate to defend other ways of understanding social development. "

Marlaska has participated in San Sebastián in the first meeting of the Operations Coordination Center in which the National Police and Civil Guard will work together and will be in continuous collaboration with the Oiartzun center that yesterday presented the Minister of Security of the Basque Government, since Ertzaintza has transferred the Traffic and Public Safety competencies in the CAV, and part of the counter-summit will take place in the Guipuzcoan town of Irún.

In total, to the 4,000 Ertzainas that the Basque Government will mobilize, 2,810 troops from the State security forces will be added, of which 1,878 will be civil guards and 932 national police officers, who will basically ensure border control , collaboration with France, and they will give the necessary support to the Basque police in traffic and public safety, in an "absolute coordination".

"We are prepared to prevent violent events that want to impede the right of citizens to exercise their freedom of expression," he said.

As has been done since the Basque Government, Marlaska has insisted on the need for the population to be "responsible" and not to use the Irún pass in their movements and alternative steps are used.

In addition, at the G7 summit, the world's greats will discuss the issue of inigration, together at a time when Europe faces the Open Arms crisis. Regarding this issue, Marlaska has strongly criticized the opposition parties who have said that the Government lacks immigration policy. "It's ignorance or bad faith," he said. "It is very serious to say this because Spain fulfills its obligations," he said to defend the performance of the Executive in the Open Arms.

Regarding the possible agreement with Podemos, Marlaska has indicated that the PSOE does not want other elections, but has ruled out that, as United We intend, there is a Government "with two Governments". Precisely, parliamentarians of United We can participate in the counter-conference while Sanchez will go as president. Something that Marlaska has downplayed. "Everyone has the right to defend their development proposals, more would be missing." "What is not possible is that two governments are wanted in one, " he insisted.
