CÁDIZ, 14 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The partner of Miguel Ángel González, the civil guard from San Fernando (Cádiz) who died last Friday in Barbate along with another agent from Barcelona, ??David Pérez, when they were run over by a drug boat, has denounced that his job was, as a member of the Groups of Specialists in Underwater Activities (GEAS), “rescue people” and that they were not dedicated to “going after drug traffickers.”
In an intervention on a Canal Sur Televisión program, reported by Europa Press, Alba assured that her partner “fought so that they were at least in the conditions they deserved to be in” in terms of security and that “he did not deserve to end up like this.” .
“He didn’t deserve this, neither he nor anyone else, but he specifically didn’t deserve to end up like this. That wasn’t his job, there weren’t enough staff there and my partner was a Civil Guard but from the GEAS. He was dedicated to rescuing people with life or no life and he was not dedicated to going after drug traffickers, nor did he have to be there,” she said, visibly dejected by the death of her partner.
Miguel Ángel was posthumously awarded the Golden Cross of the Order of Merit of the Civil Guard, an insignia that Alba has rejected, considering that “they should not give medals when a person has died because they have died.” “We don’t want any medals… The work that is there, of all the people there fighting every day without means, should be valued, and whoever has to pay should pay,” she said.
The mother of this Civil Guard, Francisca María Gómez, has recounted how her son conveyed to her the lack of resources available in the area, where “there were only ten GEAS civil guards and two were on leave.” “He told me that the means were not enough, that they were very helpless there,” he said, noting that he told him “about the precariousness with which he worked” but “always as an anecdote” to “downplay it and not worry me.” .
Regarding the people who appear in the videos that were made public cheering the actions of the drug traffickers against the agents and that the Superior Prosecutor of Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla, Ana Tárrago, is going to investigate, the civil guard’s mother has told them that ” I hope they never have to go through what I’m going through” and that “either they don’t have a heart or they live by what they live.”
“I don’t want to get into politics, nor do I want to get into who was to blame, or who sent the order. I know that there are those who have to present their resignation. And not just one, more than one, because their hands are stained with the blood of my son,” he warned.
Regarding his son, he explained that he had only been stationed at the Algeciras Command (Cádiz) for three months but that he was “very happy” and that “his eternal smile and his words of encouragement will always accompany me”, as well as the last message he received from him, in which he conveyed how much he loved her.
Francisca has stated that she does not want to be a “protagonist of anything, much less in this situation” and that “I just want to give him a voice, that justice be done and that the necessary means be put in place so that no one ever has to go through what I am again.” going”.
