Senator for Cadiz and president of the Popular Party of Algeciras, José Ignacio Landaluce, yesterday officially registered a question addressed to the Government on the aggression suffered by two agents of the Customs Surveillance Service in the early hours of the morning of the 2nd of last week on the Levante beach in Gibraltar. The senator wants to know if British authorities collaborate in any way to defend the two Spanish agents.
“It cannot be understood in any way that Gibraltar does not collaborate with the State Security Forces and Corps, with Customs Surveillance, because the priority is security, law and order, not to allow an attack with stones against these two agents,” said Landaluce in statements to journalists.
Landaluce explained that a request for information has already been sent to the Ministry of Finance, which is responsible for the Customs Surveillance Service, as to whether the British authorities collaborated in the defence of the officers who were attacked.
“We will continue to ask for an investigation and clarification of what happened by the government, which has a duty to support the Security Forces and Corps, prison officers and, of course, those of the Customs Surveillance Service,” he concluded.
