SUP sindikatuko idazkaria eta Desokupako buru Daniel Esteve akordioa izenpetzen

Monica Gracia, general secretary of the largest police union in Spain, sup, has assured that the agreement reached with the neo-fascist company is "Historic" and has linked it with insecurity. "We have a problem in the streets. Violence is disproportionate and authority has been lost. Colleagues are more exposed and we want to make them feel safer with this [agreement]," explained the head of the police union.

Although the sup has ensured that the course will be "approved and low-grade", sources from the Spanish Ministry of the Interior have assured that this is not the case and that it does not have "any support from the Directorate General of the Police". On Sunday, Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska said he is studying the initiation of "a possible challenge to the agreement" between the SUP and Desokupa, if the course violates "the democratic values" of the training.

The pact has also provoked other kinds of reactions between the Spanish political class. For example, Podemos's general secretary, Ione Belarra, has stated that Vacancy "is a paramilitary institution that should be out of legality" and has asked the Ministry of the Interior to "stop this aberration".

In the face of criticism, the SUP spokesman explained that his union has reached agreements with "many companies, both public and private, without consulting their political and ideological orientation in this respect."

Desokupa is a company run by Daniel Esteve that is sold as “a solution for the eviction of okupas”, outside legal proceedings. This is what they have on the web: "We have successfully made over 7,000 vacancies. We are the only company in the sector recommended by the state security forces." Esteve, very active in social networks and in the media, does not miss the opportunity to echo the messages of the extreme right nationalist Spain.

It has been several times that the Dekupa thugs have tried to get people out of the houses in Euskal Herria, and when they have come out to the street to refuse their presence and their performance.
