Catalonia recorded two shootings a week last year, seven with fatalities

For some time now, the police, including the Mossos d’Esquadra, have been deciphering, analyzing, and interpreting all the data that can be extracted from an incident. This is what is called “police intelligence,” which is recorded in reports prepared by analysts and helps to understand objectively what is happening. This information is taken very much into account in decision-making or in the design of prevention policies. Every firearm incident is dissected, literally. And some data from that analysis show the real proportions of a problem that concerns the population and security officials. In Catalonia, an average of two shootings occur per week.

France cries over its helplessness before Spain

France cries over its helplessness before Spain

France displayed military power during the parade on the Champs-Élysées on the occasion of the July 14th celebration. Just hours later, in Dallas, “the fire front” (as the press has dubbed it) was neutralized, without gunpowder, by “the Spanish Armada” (front page of Le Parisien), plunging the country, so prone to exaggerated self-esteem, into a new phase of collective depression.

The EU is already talking about defense without NATO

It’s a scenario no one wants to talk about with too much impetus, but one that seems increasingly real: the possibility that the EU may have to defend itself without the US security umbrella.

Two Civil Guards die in Huelva in the chase of a drug speedboat

Andalusia, this time its waters of Huelva, has once again been the scene of a tragedy that strikes the Civil Guard. On the day the institution celebrated the largest cocaine seizure so far in the world, two of its men, a captain and a civil guard, aged 54 and 55, died when their Maritime Service vessels, the patrol boat Rio Antas and a rigid inflatable boat of the corps in which the two deceased were traveling, collided while trying to cut off the passage to a drug-running boat. The rigid inflatable boat is 12 meters long and has three engines, similar in structure, but much larger and faster than the zodiac run over by a drug-running boat in Barbate, in February 2024, in which two civil guards died.
