Margarita Robles and a part of the judicial dome side Fernando Grande-Marlaska

• Basque Country: The Civil Guard receives its new director arresting Etarra 'Kubati' for organizing a hundred tributes to terrorists
• Profile: María Gámez, director of the Civil Guard: the socialist who watched from the lighthouse

It was one of the most important acts of the relays after the inauguration of the ministers of the Government of Pedro Sánchez. And so the absences still resonated with more power. Because it was the inauguration of Ana Gámez at the head of the Civil Guard. He assumed the command, for the first time, a woman, the one that was subdelegated of the Government in Malaga , that today was officially presented at the General Directorate of the Armed Institute. But they claimed more absences than attendees. Because, it should be remembered, the Civil Guard is a body with double dependence, of the Ministry of Interior and Defense .

However, today only the new head of the green house, the minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska, was the one who decided that it was she who took command of the Civil Guard. The absence of Margarita Robles did not go unnoticed by anyone. Because the day before, both from Defense and from Moncloa, in their respective agendas, they announced the presence of the minister at the events. From the Robles ministry it was pointed out that the headline had met with María Gámez already on Monday, highlighting the great confluences in the lines of future work, especially in the projection of women in the Civil Guard. And they noted that during the morning yesterday, the minister was "with other issues."

But it was not the only absence. An important part of the world of judges and prosecutors, especially their domes, was not clotting the new director and her interior minister. The absences were not for Gámez but for Grande-Marlaska. The lack of representatives of magistrates instructors or representatives of the rooms of the National Court was well established. Also from the Supreme Court and the Prosecutor's Office, starting with the chief prosecutor himself, Jesús Alonso. And that precisely yesterday, the Civil Guard carried out an outstanding operation with the National Court against a pro -tarian network dedicated to organizing tributes to the jailed prisoners of ETA. When Félix Azón took office in July 2018, the presence of high representatives of the judiciary was enormous. Azón was, in addition to the son of a civil guard, magistrate and former member of the General Council of the Judiciary. Among others, the director of the CNI, the presidents of Chambers IV and V of the Supreme Court, the National Court and the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid and the Superior Prosecutor of Madrid, among other relevant positions, were also taking part.

As sources close to the absent explain to this newspaper, one interpretation is that this situation has occurred due to their proximity to the outgoing director. They consider that since the Ministry of Interior has not been treated well. Azón had the backing of an important part of the progressive judiciary, which is upset with the change imposed by Grande-Marlaska. Because the appointment of María Gámez starts from the Ministry of Interior and was practically imposed, despite also affecting Defense. The latter Ministry had in mind to agree with Interior the appointment of a Minister of the Government of Melilla.

Discrepancies about security in Catalonia, one of the reasons

Yesterday's absences again highlighted a difficult relationship between the two ministers. In fact, it is a consequence of the malaise that the departure of Félix Azón, decided unilaterally by Interior, generated in Defense.

The minister, although the different during these 19 months have been more than evident, thanked yesterday during his speech the work done by the predecessor of María Gámez, Félix Azón, present at the ceremony in the General Directorate.

Because the clashes between Grande-Marlaska and the Civil Guard during these months have shown strong discrepancies when facing, among other matters, security in Catalonia, especially during the serious incidents that occurred when the conviction against the procès was known . But the most important shock, as revealed by THE WORLD, was for what the minister considered to be a bad management of the internal information by the Civil Guard about the Judas operation, in which a cell of the CDR considered very deactivated dangerous. The minister could not respond in detail when the action broke out to the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, who was arriving at the time in the United States. And for this reason, Grande-Marlaska abronó to the controls of the Civil Guard. The most prominent figure was the then director Felix Azon.

Before arriving at the Ministry, Grande-Marlaska and Azón maintained a cordial relationship. In fact, Azón was one of the members of the General Council of the Judiciary that endorsed the rise of Grande-Marlaska to the presidency of the Criminal Chamber of the National Court.

Therefore, an important judicial sector understands that there has been a point of disloyalty on the part of the minister towards Azón, which yesterday was evidenced by the absences in the position of María Gámez, a large victim in this confrontation.

The movements and movements in the act of the Civil Guard occur when the political tensions on this Body increase. Both the new director and her boss, the Minister of the Interior, had to insist again that the Civil Guard is an essential element in the "backbone" of Spain. "From Catalonia to the Campo de Gibraltar, in Navarra or Madrid, the State will continue to be the backbone," Grande-Marlaska said. He also underlined the "solid prestige" based on the "principles and values" of this Body, "the best valued institution that generates more confidence among Spaniards."

But the debate about the withdrawal of troops in the communities as a requirement of the independence formations is on the table. And where it seems that the steps are accelerating, at least in view of the political statements, it is in Navarra, where its president, the socialist María Chivite, has already reached a sane with Bildu to move forward with her budgets. Of course, he has had to defend publicly, as defended by all nationalists and the nationalist left, the approach of all ETA prisoners to prisons around the Basque Country.

The demands of independence

International relevance A complicated legislature awaits Interior. The Mossos and Ertzaintza want to increase their international skills. Interpol and Europol, in their objectives. And consider this priority situation.

Folding in Navarra . But, in addition, in the Navarre field, the independence demands go through a withdrawal of the Civil Guard. The door already open publicly: the transfer of competencies in Traffic to the Foral Police.

Police and Barcelona . And the imminent departure of the National Police from the emblematic building of the Headquarters in Barcelona will be another of his horses, but he is not expected to fight because the PSC is in favor of that transfer.
