Political Interference Allegations Shake Spain's Guardia Civil

Allegations of Political Interference Rock Spain's Guardia Civil: Exclusive Report Reveals Phone Calls and Questions of Cover-Up Madrid, Spain – A new report from Cadena COPE has ignited a firestorm of controversy, alleging political interference in the Spanish Guardia Civil. The report centers on phone calls between Leire Díez and Mercedes González, the director of the Guardia Civil, following a reported harassment campaign against the UCO (Unidad Central Operativa), an elite investigative unit. The timing and content of these calls are raising serious questions about potential cover-ups. Carlos Herrera, a prominent journalist at Herrera en COPE, revealed details of the calls during an exclusive interview. He stated, "These calls raise serious concerns about the independence of the Guardia Civil." Herrera also discussed a meeting between Díez and Rubén Villaba, adding fuel to the controversy. The video features footage from this meeting and interviews with individuals who were present. The report has sparked outrage among opposition parties, who are demanding a full investigation into the matter. The director of the Guardia Civil, Mercedes González, has remained silent on the issue, further fueling speculation of a possible cover-up. This silence, according to Herrera, is "incomprehensible" given the gravity of the allegations. The video concludes by emphasizing the questions surrounding González's priorities and whether she is prioritizing political loyalty over the integrity of the Guardia Civil. The situation remains highly volatile, with calls for transparency and accountability growing louder. The coming days will be critical in determining the extent of any political interference and ensuring the integrity of the Guardia Civil.
