Despite assertions by the mayor of Cartagena and the Security council in the last municipal plenary, many municipalities in Spain have been conducted or are conducting these courses and for that they have not needed to have the authorization of the Ministry of Interior.
According to the spokesman of Citizens Cartagena, Manuel Padin, "from citizens we consider it necessary to train our players in the best way to deal with the jihadist threat and counter the procedures used by recruiters of terrorist organizations."
Citizens will bring to plenary his motion to the local police conduct specific training courses on how to deal with the jihadist threat.
In plenary last June, the Municipal Group of Citizens filed a motion (which eventually withdrew) in order to urge the School of Public Safety of the City of Cartagena to include in their training program, specific training courses aimed at instruct the local police on jihadist terrorism.
The goal is that our police are formed in the identification and prevention of actions for recruiting, recruitment and creation of fundamentalist cells.
Following the presentation of the motion, the Security council, Francisco Aznar replied that "agreeing on the text of his motion, powers on terrorism has them the National Police, Civil Guard and the National Intelligence Centre, therefore, I believe that the local police should not teach courses, or any training program at the school for this. " '
In the same vein the mayor of Cartagena, Jose Lopez, was expressed even to warn that it is not appropriate "or bring or speak publicly about what is done or is not done in these matters."
Lopez said that within jihadist struggle, "is directly the Ministry which must talk to the mayor, security competition is the mayor, not the plenary," he said.
The mayor ended his speech by saying he would wait for the Ministry ordered the formation "and in that case he would spend the instructions to the local police."
Faced with these arguments, the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padin, thought "prudent reserve a motion to strengthen the defense of the text".
According Padin, "despite assertions by the mayor of Cartagena and the Security council, in other municipalities from different municipalities of Spain itself that have thrived similar motions".
Examples in other Spanish municipalities
In Valencia, the City encourages the local police conduct specific training courses on how to identify and address the jihadist threat and how to counter the procedures used by recruiters.
This commitment was adopted in March 2016 the Commission Security council on the proposal of a motion filed by Citizens and obtained the support of all groups.
In addition, in April 2016, Las Cortes Valencianas demanded the Government to increase the training they received in 2016 and 2017 local police forces in antiyihadista terrorism.
Another example is the City of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Also in March this year, it was approved the 2016 business plan for the local police, consisting of 16 training courses, including courses on jihadist terrorism.
The city of Marbella, has not been left behind in this matter.
Agents Marbella Local Police and the Municipal Tourism Delegation participated in a training course on Islamic terrorism and Jihadism, organized by the Spanish Confederation of Police.
In the burgalés Consistory, through Burgos Information Group, he was given in January this year a training day on atmosphere in the jihadist threat.
The recipients were members of different local police in that province.
And all these previous examples of municipalities that have opted for the teaching of jihadist terrorism training to local police forces, can be added to other similar initiatives in Vizcaya, Aragon, Badajoz and Elche, among others.

In all these cases he spoke publicly and appeared in the media.
Moreover, we emphasize the statements of the spokesman of the group of the Municipal Police of Madrid, Julian Leal, who said on Sunday July 24 a national digital newspaper '' that the municipal police need retraining to new techniques terrorism urban''.
Mr. Leal argued that municipal agents' are those who are daily on the streets and you can find a being therefore essential coordination with other forces and state security attack.
This diagnosis of Mr. Leal is fully shared by the president of the Municipal Police Association
Citizens will present the motion
The last plenary of June, our Municipal Group decided to withdraw the motion by the arguments put forward by the President of this House with reference to such initiatives, being an issue of special delicacy, are not the responsibility of the City of Cartagena it belonged to the Interior Ministry.
However, as we have shown with the examples above, in none of these cases the Interior Ministry had to personally contact the mayor of the municipality to order or authorize such training.
In no municipality of Spain in which it has been approved this type of training, it has considered that local governments did not have the necessary powers to carry out this initiative.
In any case, the leader of Citizens in Cartagena believes "it is necessary to train our players in the best way to deal with the jihadist threat and counter the procedures used by recruiters of terrorist organizations."
For all these reasons, the Municipal Group of Citizens request through a new motion that the House Hon.
City of Cartagena urge the School of Public Safety of the City of Cartagena to include in their training program, specific training courses designed to instruct the local police regarding Jihadist terrorism, with particular attention to the identification and prevention of recruitment actions , recruitment and creation of fundamentalist cells.
If this is not possible, we urge the City of Cartagena to take whatever steps are necessary so that the local police in Cartagena can be formed in these matters, as is already being done in a number of Spanish cities.
