• Controversy: one hundred health workers from the military hospital are left without a vaccine against Covid-19 while the military leadership puts it on

The Minister of the Interior has increased the pressure on his colleague, the Minister of Defense, due to the case of the vaccination of the Chief of the General Staff, General Villarroya and high-ranking members of the military leadership.

While Margarita Robles is waiting for the report that she has asked Villarroya on the circumstances in which her Covid vaccination has been carried out, the Interior Minister already adopted the first decision yesterday afternoon.

Marlaska abruptly dismissed the lieutenant colonel of the Civil Guard who acts as liaison with the military Operations Command and who was vaccinated together with the military leadership and Jemad, as Colpisa announced.

In this way, the minister adjusts accounts with a minister with whom he has maintained powerful discrepancies and controversies since the legislature started.

The enmity between the two ministers has been clear, obvious and, at times, public.

The dismissed lieutenant colonel depends on the Interior and is a freely available position.

Grande-Marlaska, after learning about this circumstance of her vaccination yesterday, also requested reports on how the events had occurred.

After analyzing whether it could be contemplated that he fell within the provisions established in the vaccination plans, the head of the Interior understood that it was not and decided late yesterday to dismiss him from his post.

It is a post of Civil Guard officer who manages direct relations between his Corps and the Military Operations Command.

The Civil Guard has a double dependency, Interior and Defense.

This lieutenant colonel had been part of the vaccination process at this military institution.

The Civil Guard liaison officer in the EMAD (Defense Staff) is a freely appointed position appointed by the ministry, so the military will be reinstated in another unit of the Armed Institute.

Interior adopted this decision just a few hours after it emerged that the Jemad and other members of the military leadership took advantage of the Covid vaccination program.

The Defense Minister did not publicly avoid her discomfort at these events when she found out from the media.

He ordered General Villarroya a report to learn the details of the use of the first doses in case he had to clarify responsibilities.

Robles made it clear yesterday that depending on what that report says, "we will see," making it clear that he has not yet made a decision on General Villarroya.

But before he closes it and finishes adopting the final resolution, his fellow cabinet member has already increased the fire in the boiler with the removal of the lieutenant colonel.

From the operations command it was insisted that these vaccinations are within the framework of the rules established in the general plan: first the health personnel, then those sent to international operations and finally, to the "command structure" in order of age.

Margarita Robles, who made it clear that no vaccination has been carried out in the structure of the Ministry of Defense, hopes that the reports from the military make it clear that this order of action has been fulfilled.

In this way, at least, "although it is more or less ugly", they would be in a predetermined framework of actions in the vaccination plan.

But if that order does not appear as it is, with the literality that is pointed out, it is more than foreseeable that the minister will take "exemplary" measures.

The political pressure imposed by the measure adopted by Marlaska is added to that that during the last hours Podemos has been starring against the Minister of Defense, undoubtedly her great political enemy within the Council of Ministers, since she is the clearest voice of the Government against some of Podemos' political movements, mainly against the Royal House.
