The SUP also announces legal proceedings against Belarra for calling the Torremolinos police officers “murderers”

The controversy broke out following a publication by Belarra on the social network X (formerly Twitter). The former minister harshly attacked state security forces and organs, rejecting the medical version of heart attack and criminalizing police work: “Saying that you ‘die’ of a heart attack while the police are arresting you is like saying that the women “die” has hands her couple while they give them a beat“.

The events that led to the attack on the Podemos leader took place in a stand in the municipality of Torremolinos, Malaga. According to the police report, the man died after suffering a cardiorespiratory arrest at the moment when the agents of the National Police carried out reduce it.

This medical cause is what the first reports affirm and what the police unions defend, categorically denying the story of the “murder” and “racist violence” that Belarra is trying to impose on its social networks.

Defense of police honor

The response from the agents’ representatives was not long in coming. On the SUP side, they regretted that the “only objective” of Belarra was “once again”discredit he job of the national police.

Through an official statement on the same platform, the union considered that describing the intervention as “murder” is attitude “irresponsible» by a public official.

“This forces us, once again, to take legal action to defend honor and the professionalism of our colleagues”, they underlined from the union organization, confirming that they will take legal action against the general secretary of Podemos for these statements which they consider insulting.

This new attack by the purple formation against the National Police adds to a long list of disagreements, in which Can Ha disputedsystematically THE the work of agentsoften without evidence and contradicting official and judicial reports.

The CEP also targets social media videos

The Spanish Police Confederation (CEP) of Malaga was the first to take a step forward, formally asking the provincial police station to initiate legal actions immediately against the former minister and against the authors of the videos spread in TikTok and Instagram.

According to the registration document presented by the provincial executive committee, these publications and declarations could constitute crimes of “alleged insults, slander And hate crime against a police officer. The organization confirmed that the CEP will appear as an accusation in the process to guarantee the defense of the agents against what they consider to be an unjustified attack.

The legal offensive of the SUP and the CEP shows the deep unease within the National Police in the face of political instrumentalization of his interventions. With this legal response, the unions are asking the courts to put an end to impunity for comments which, far from being caution required to a public office, they criminalize civil servants before they even exist definitive medico-legal conclusions. A step forward with which they intend to stop a harassment strategy on the basis of accusations that, as the agents denounce, lack of any basis of evidence.
