Interior The Government promotes the feminization of the Mossos leadership with four new commissioners
Autonomous Police Crisis in the leadership of the Mossos in full controversy over insecurity in Catalonia
The Department of the Interior of the Generalitat has dismissed the chief commissioner of the Mossos d'Esquadra, Josep Maria Estela.
He was appointed last December replacing Major Josep Lluís Trapero.
This Monday Estela met with the Minister Joan Ignasi Elena after the "discrepancies" of recent weeks that worsened on Friday with the appointment of six new commissioners.
Estela asked that there be four men and two women but Elena decided that the proportion should be reversed, four women and two men within the process to feminize the Mossos.
For the moment, Estela's 'number 2', Eduard Sallent, will be in charge of the Catalan police, although it will be temporary, according to Interior sources, until a reform of the leadership in a few months.
Everything indicates that the Interior will appoint a commissioner at the head of the Mossos.
In a statement, Interior announced the dismissal of Estela as head of the Mossos and her incorporation as head of the Poniente Police Region.
In addition, they indicated that both the police leadership and the rest of the command "will continue to work in a collegiate manner and promote new projects that maintain the priority of serving citizens."
The commissioner Eduard Sallent, who assumes the acting leadership, was already in charge of Mossos between 2019 and 2020 when the previous Interior Minister Miquel Sàmper decided to reinstate Trapero once he was acquitted by the National Court.
