• Health The Government will vaccinate the Police and Civil Guard in Catalonia after neglect by the Generalitat

  • Policy The Interterritorial Health Council will study the vaccination of Police and Civil Guard agents

"A problem in the census" of the Civil Guard and Police agents assigned to Catalonia. This is the argument put forward by the Generalitat in recent weeks to justify the delay in the vaccination of these members of the State security forces and bodies. The police unions and civil guard organizations have brought the case to justice since they consider that there are possibilities of committing a crime by the Catalan administration, since at the moment less than 20% of their staff of agents bodies are vaccinated while in the rest of Spain the figure is around 80%.

To calm the spirits, the acting Interior Minister, Miquel Sàmper, assured that within the vaccination plan of the security forces and bodies "as essential is a mosso as a policeman or a civil guard." Despite commenting on the difficulties of obtaining a census by the Generalitat, although the Government Delegation in Catalonia insists that it was delivered when appropriate, the minister recalled that there was a delay in the arrival of doses in addition to the suspension of administration of AstraZaneca in early April.

Even so, in statements to Catalunya Ràdio, he indicated that the dispensing of vaccines to national police and civil guards is not carried out "as would be desirable" but work is being done to correct them, appealing to the importance of their service.

Between 70 and 80% of Mossos d'Esquadra agents are vaccinated.

Sàmper assured that the delay in the arrival of these vaccines has also affected other security and emergency bodies.

"We have problems with the firefighters, with the local policemen," he said, adding that "it cannot be that policemen, firemen ... who have a direct relationship with the population are not vaccinated.

One month late

The administration of vaccines to Civil Guard and Police officers in Catalonia arrived a month late with respect to Mossos and local police. For this reason, police unions and civil guards organizations presented several complaints to the Government Delegation in Catalonia as well as claims for contentious proceedings before the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC), which are in the study phase, and complaints to the The same judicial body, the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Barcelona duty courts for the commission of an alleged crime against the workers.

Faced with this delay, the Minister of Health, Carolina Darias, announced that she would reserve vaccines so that health representatives of the State begin to give them to the Civil Guard and Police agents assigned to Catalonia.

"I have asked for it in every possible way and I have not succeeded and I believe that we cannot wait any longer," said the minister.
