Sources: 4. Developments: 2. The Spanish National Court, or Audiencia Nacional, annulled a ministerial order intended to create a new National Police station in Roquetas de Mar, Almería. The ruling, which followed a challenge by the Unión de Oficiales, halted a plan that would have removed the Guardia Civil from the municipality. The court declared the creation of the station null due to an “absence of any type of report or previous study” to justify the necessity of the new station based on local demographics or specific circumstances. In response, the Unified Police Union (SUP) stated that the ruling does not prevent the establishment of the station but instead identifies administrative errors by the Ministry of the Interior. The union argued that the court's decision focused on a lack of specific motivation in the regulatory disposition rather than a lack of necessity, noting that the Ministry failed to provide sufficient studies to justify the station's inclusion in ministerial orders. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-05: Police union disputes judicial ruling on Roquetas de Mar station The Unified Police Union (SUP) argues a court ruling does not block the Roquetas de Mar police station, while also winning a legal battle regarding residence allowances for officers in Ceuta. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/police-union-disputes-judicial-ruling-on-roquetas-de-mar-station ### 2026-11-03: Spanish National Court annuls new police station in Roquetas de Mar Spain's Audiencia Nacional has annulled the creation of a National Police station in Roquetas de Mar, citing a lack of justification and allowing the Guardia Civil to remain in the area. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/spanish-national-court-annuls-new-police-station-in-roquetas-de-mar --- Cite as: Legal dispute over Roquetas de Mar police station.
