Half a hundred officers from the Urban Guard broke into the full session of the Tarragona City Council yesterday to demand the equalization of overtime with the Mossos d’Esquadra. The police loudly demanded the resignation of the mayor, Rubén Viñuales (PSC), threatened to stop working overtime during extraordinary events, such as the one that will take place next week with Sant Jordi’s holiday, and also asked for an increase in cash in the template
The minister of the interior, Joan Ignasi Elena, expressed his “concern with the situation that is being experienced in Tarragona” and after talking by phone with Viñuales “made available the reinforcements of the Mossos that are necessary to maintain the service in Tarragona”. The mayor assured the plenary that he has already given “a long time ago the order to equalize the overtime” of the Guardia Urbana, but explained that it is in the process of inspection before the increase can be made effective salary
