JUPOL rejects Sumar's proposal to amnesty 1-O police officers and asks Marlaska "not to equate them with criminals"

Warns that "they will not tolerate" the Government "legislating for seditionists while despising the State Security Forces and Bodies"

MADRID, 6 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The National Police union JUPOL has rejected Sumar's proposal to include the 1-O police officers in the amnesty law and has disgraced both the acting Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, and the director of the Police, Francisco Pardo, for "putting himself in profile" and not defending them against the "lack of respect" that "equating them with the criminals who tried to carry out a coup d'état through an illegal referendum" entails.

"We cannot tolerate a Government that legislates for seditionists and criminals, while despising the State Security Forces and Corps," JUPOL said in a statement in which they criticize that the leader of Sumar and acting vice president of the Government, Yolanda Díaz , defend the "incongruity of equating the defenders of Law, order and the Constitution with criminals who only seek to break Spain."

JUPOL has requested free acquittal for the 45 police officers accused of 1-O and "not to equate them with those responsible for the illegal referendum." "The agents did not commit any crime on October 1, 2017," they emphasized.

"It is nonsense to try to equate the national police who acted in compliance with a judicial order and in defense of the unity of Spain and compliance with the Law and the Constitution, with the promoters of an illegal referendum and an attempted coup. of State with which they intended to break the unity of Spain," said JUPOL spokesperson, Ibón Domínguez.

In this sense, they have called on Grande-Marlaska and the director of the Police to "once and for all stop taking a profile" in the face of an amnesty law that, they insist, "represents a direct attack on Democracy, Constitution and the Rule of Law, of which the National Police has always been the guarantor."

JUPOL, which days ago announced its attendance at this Sunday's demonstration against the amnesty in Barcelona, ​​has made a strong defense of the 10,000 police officers displaced to Catalonia due to 1-O. "None of these agents committed a crime in the exercise of their duties on October 1, but rather they scrupulously complied with the Law and the orders received," stated the union, which calls for an end now to the "lack of respect" for the officers. members of the State Security Forces and Bodies.
