The SUP requests an urgent meeting with Juan Jesús Vivas in Ceuta after the migration crisis

The Unified Police Union (SUP) has requested the president of the Autonomous City of Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas, for an urgent meeting to address the problems of citizen security and operational pressure after the migration crisis registered in the city due to the "blockade" by the Government Delegation.

The union, according to a statement sent to the media, has appealed to the Presidency of the City after, according to a complaint, the Government delegate in Ceuta, Miguel Ángel Pérez Triano, has refused to hold a meeting with the unions and police representatives.

For the SUP, this lack of dialogue is especially serious at a time when, in its opinion, coordination between institutions and agents working on the ground should be strengthened. The union maintains that police officers continue to face high pressure in areas such as Citizen Security, Immigration, Scientific Police and Information, in addition to the consequences derived from the massive entry of people registered in the city.

Added to this, according to the SUP, are the conditions of the officials stationed in Ceuta and the agents displaced from the Peninsula to deal with the situation. The union organization also warns of the concern that exists among citizens about security after the various incidents and attacks known in recent weeks.

Among their main demands are a larger stable workforce, better material resources, the reinforcement of the most affected units, decent working conditions for agents and the implementation of a comprehensive and permanent security plan for Ceuta.

The SUP recognizes that the powers in matters of citizen security correspond to the General Administration of the State and assures that its request to Vivas does not intend to modify this distribution of powers but rather to find a way of institutional dialogue in the face of the blockade that it denounces and to transfer to the Presidency of the City the needs of the police officers and the concern that exists in the population.

In addition, he also wants to raise the need to promote a stable security plan among the competent administrations that prevents Ceuta from depending on specific reinforcements that arrive once emergency situations have already occurred.
