Entities representing members of the State Security Forces and the Army called this Tuesday "intolerable disrespect" that Vice President Pablo Iglesias has ensured that against the second wave of Covid-19, more health workers and not police officers are needed. military.

This was stated in a joint statement by the Unified Police Union (SUP), the Unified Association of Civil Guards (AUGC) and the Unified Association of Spanish Military (AUME).

These organizations valued that Iglesias said this Tuesday, in an interview on TVE's 'La hora de la 1', that against the second wave of the coronavirus and in places like the Community of Madrid "there is a lack of more doctors, more trackers, more teachers and more public transport, not police, military and measures that segregate by class ".

In this regard, SUP, AUGC and AUME condemned "emphatically" what was said by the vice president and argued that their considerations "do not measure up to the responsibility it holds and entails excluding a group that has been key to stopping the spread of the virus by monitoring the application of containment measures: the only ones that have made it possible to stop the first wave of this pandemic in our country ".

"From the SUP, AUGC and AUME", the statement adds, "we defend that no one is left over, as the vice president claims, when it comes to fighting this challenge that concerns us all (due to the coronavirus pandemic). And we do it with full knowledge of the personal sacrifice that many colleagues have made for months. "

"The assertions of Mr. Iglesias", continue these entities, "constitute an intolerable lack of respect from those who hold a high government responsibility and put at the center of the target of the party struggle a group of officials of some 270,000 troops, including National Police, Civil Guard and Armed Forces ".

For this reason, these representatives of agents and the military demanded that Iglesias "stop using public servants as a thrown weapon in political combat" and show "more respect" for "exceptional work" than the Security Forces and the Army did during the state of alarm.
