Two Mossos and a neighbor injured in a pitched battle with the manteros of Cambrills and Salou (Tarragona)
Three injured, two police officers and a neighboris the balance of the last revolt of the manteros of Cambrils and Salou against the Police this Tuesday night. The manteros reacted with violence, throwing stones and street furniture at the agents who were deployed to put an end to the illegal sale on the beach promenade that connects both municipalities.
The events take place just a few days after the Vox opposition denounced the Salou City Council for the pemissivity that he demonstrates with the manteros for years despite the serious incidents they have been involved in.
On this occasion, the agents deployed an operation to put an end to the blanket top, but the manteros regrouped and confronted the police, throwing everything they had at hand at them, and even returned to establish themselves in the evacuated area.
The pitched battle with the manteros scared away the tourists who were spending the afternoon in the area. Finally, the Mossos d’Esquadra denounced two of the manteros for illegal sales and seized 2,600 counterfeit items, although they did not arrest any of the attackers.
Vox: «Salou capital of the top blanket»
The Salou City Council attributes the success of the operation to “the pressure and repeated demands of Mayor Granados.” Just the opposite of what Vox’s opposition denounces. Its spokesperson, Anabel Rodríguez, has accused the mayor, Pere Granados, of having turned Salou into the capital of the top blanket after several Mossos d’Esquadra agents were injured in this latest operation and the mayor himself publicly admitted that the presence of the top blanket depends on your political will.
For Vox, this statement reinforces the complaint filed a few days ago before the Prosecutor’s Office against the municipalities of Salou and Cambrils for their role as “indispensable links” so that this criminal structure has been able to operate for years.
For years Vox has denounced the “permissiveness” of the City Council with this illegal activity and has assured that the facts “have ended up proving us right.” to training. “While Granados denied the problem, the Security Forces and Corps placed Salou as the main logistics center of the top blanket on the Costa Daurada”, they remember.
