The Vox deputy for Málaga in Congress, Patricia Rueda, has directly pointed to the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, as the main "great culprit" of the "worrying wave of shootings linked to drug trafficking" that the province is suffering. According to her complaint, "he has turned the Costa del Sol into the Costa of Shootings and Málaga into the capital of crime."
Rueda has expressed herself in these terms through a statement disseminated by the party, in which Vox laments that two shootings have been recorded "in just five days." In her opinion, "that is the tragic balance that Málaga registers and that places the capital on the path to becoming one of the most dangerous cities in Spain."
The parliamentarian has criticized what she defines as "tremendous inaction" of the Interior minister and has warned that "we can say that at this moment, there is not a single area of Málaga that is free from the violence of organized crime."
The representative from Málaga has reiterated her demand to the Executive to act in response to the violent episodes occurring in the province and has accused Marlaska of "surrendering Málaga to the narcos."
In this context, she has called for his resignation "for the sake of the safety of the people of Málaga." She asserts that "his political credit has run out. His job is to guarantee the safety of all Spaniards and we see that not only is he not achieving it, but that Málaga has more and more armed narcos imposing their violence on the streets."
