Guardia Civil associations demand better security and labor rights
Guardia Civil associations are raising multiple grievances regarding working conditions and security protocols. In the Canary Islands, the Asociación Unificada de Guardias Civiles (AUGC) is calling for the creation of dedicated, secure spaces in hospitals to manage inmates receiving medical care. The group argues that current practices, which involve guarding inmates in hallways and waiting rooms, compromise both security and privacy. They noted that 60% of prison escapes in 2024 occurred during extra-penitentiary outings.
In Ceuta and Melilla, labor disputes have emerged following increased operational demands at the borders. The AUGC has formally requested explanations for the reduction of vacations and permits for agents deployed in these cities. Additionally, the association is demanding economic compensation for these officers that matches the payments provided to the National Police.
The Independientes de la Guardia Civil (IGC) has also joined the call for parity, requesting that economic compensation in Ceuta be extended to both permanent staff and those temporarily deployed to the region due to the migration crisis.
