The Diplomat
The Ministry of the Interior has approved the awarding of the red medal to the Kabul police for their participation in the evacuation of more than 2,000 Afghans. It has also awarded the white cross to the ambassador to Afghanistan, Gabriel Ferrán, and his deputy, Paula Sánchez, who were in charge of coordinating the evacuation operation.
The award is included in the extraordinary General Order of the National Police published this Thursday, which includes the red medal for all the police officers of the Special Operations Group (GEO) and the Police Intervention Unit (UIP) who took part in the work to provide security for the Spanish delegation and in the evacuation of the Afghan collaborators who approached Kabul airport.
