16 MAY 2018 Flour in the south The display of impunity grows in the Bay of Algeciras thanks to drug trafficking The violence and the display of impunity by alleged drug traffickers is soaring in Algeciras in such an intolerable way that it should mobilize the Ministry of the Interior and all the resources of the State to stop a growing deterioration. If in recent months the criminals had given proof of their lack of restraint with the rescue of a drug trafficker by hooded men who snatched him from the police in a hospital in La Línea; or had overwhelmed the security forces by harassing them in some operations, a tragedy has added new data this week to that alarm call. A nine-year-old boy died on Monday in a boat piloted by his father when another boat with two men ran over them after maneuvering in a threatening and risky way around them. The Minister of the Interior, Juan Ignacio Zoido, was quick to point out that it was not a drug launch, but this does not take away an atom of concern in the face of a new act of violence in which two of those involved, the father and an attacker, have criminal records. In another incident to be clarified, some 40 people who were participating in a communion at the weekend attacked nine plainclothes Civil Guards in the same area with bats, glass and other materials. The Interior Ministry also does not confirm the link, but the Unified Association of the Civil Guard assures that they were anti-narcotics agents and at least two of the arrested attackers were criminals. Of the 372,901 kilos of drugs seized in Spain in 2016, 40% were seized in Cadiz. The growth of drug trafficking has become as evident in the area as the laundering of lavish expenses and this growing challenge to the security forces. They need a Government that does not underestimate what is happening, but rather faces reality with resources and with the determination to stop the expansion of this fariña (a reference to cocaine and its trafficking that has done so much damage in Galicia) that is growing in the south.
