The electoral program of the Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG) has been the cause of a fire in the Civil Guard. The intention of Ana Pontón's party to create an autonomous police force in Galicia if it comes to power imitating Catalonia, the Basque Country, Navarra or the Valencian Community has raised misgivings in a body that, in the last two years, has insisted in their alerts that there is an intention to dismantle it in certain autonomous communities.
According to the document, this police force would serve "the entire Galician territory" and "would progressively assume the functions currently assigned to the State Security Forces and Bodies." This last phrase has made the Armed Institute thunder.
The Galician nationalists, according to their program, want a "comprehensive" police force with its own organizational structure "adapted," he adds, "to the reality of Galicia." Next, the document breaks down how the Government would carry out the implementation of the Corps of autonomous agents and even talks about transferring powers in matters of traffic and road safety. In short, their plans involve "promoting a proposal for an organic law for the transfer of powers in matters of traffic and road safety." Afterwards, a plan would be promoted to integrate the agents of the Armed Institute. "An effort would be made to facilitate the integration of civil traffic guard officials," they add.
These intentions have caused deep discomfort in the Armed Institute. "It is further proof of how the nationalist world wants to expel us or begin to corner us." The commanders consulted by

recall recent examples that, in their opinion, seal their fears, such as the withdrawal of powers of the Civil Guard in Traffic and mountain rescue in Navarra or the Maritime Service of Catalonia.
Precisely, as stated in the nationalists' electoral program, there is the intention to transfer powers regarding maritime rescue to Galicia.
