Interior Marlaska defends his immigration policy but avoids commenting on the lack of agents in the Canary Islands
The Minister of the Interior Fernando Grande-Marlaska is calm in the face of the revolt of farmers and ranchers that, since last Wednesday, has been collapsing Spanish roads. The Minister of the Interior stated in an interview with
La Hora de la 1
that he was not "worried" because citizens, he insisted, "have the right to demonstrate." Of course, he has pointed out that "the rest of society also has the right to live in peace." In this sense, he has criticized the escrache suffered by the president of Navarra María Chivite in her home by the protesters.
Grande-Marlaska has claimed to be unaware of the group's intentions to reach Madrid tomorrow and take their demands to Ferraz, headquarters of the PSOE. "We are not aware of any type of communication from the Government Delegation," she assured. The minister has insisted that all demonstrations must be communicated and that in a State of Law the right to demonstrate is permitted as long as it is "in accordance with the law."
"Every society in a State of Law must be aware of compliance with the law for the exercise of rights," Grande-Marlaska warned in reference to the hundreds of complaints that have been filed this week due to demonstrations that had not been communicated to the Government delegations of each autonomous community.
Regarding the upcoming trial of the police officers who participated in the riots resulting from 1-O, the head of the Interior has defended the actions of the agents. "His conduct, his response and his professionalism always go hand in hand with the law."
