Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska has chaired this morning the inauguration of the new high positions of the Ministry, of which he has highlighted his "professionalism, skills and empathy" and who has encouraged "to think about the objective common of the closest administration, efficient and effective, that thinks exclusively about the well-being of the citizen ”.
Along these lines, the new Secretary of State for Security, Rafael Pérez, has affirmed that “the meaning of our work is to protect people, in their diversity, rights and freedoms, contributing to make their lives better”. Perez, until now director of the Minister's Cabinet, has committed his “effort and enthusiasm” in a project focused, in addition to major global threats and challenges such as police collaboration, security technologies and infrastructure or irregular migratory flows, “In the idea of human security”, with gender violence placed in priority place.
María Gámez, the first woman general director of the Civil Guard, thanked the trust they have placed in her by placing her at the head of the institution most valued by Spanish citizens with "commitment and responsibility". "My intention is to work hand in hand with the whole Body, listening and dialoguing with everyone," said Gámez, who referred to the need to "prepare, with specialization and intelligence" the great challenges posed by the 21st century , with "always respect for the essence and traditions of the Civil Guard".
The Director of the Cabinet of the Minister, Rocío García, has also thanked Grande-Marlaska and the Secretary of State for Security for the trust they placed in her 19 months ago when appointing her Deputy Director of that department. 19 months "very intense" in which – as he has explained – he has been able to appreciate "the great professionalism of the Ministry team" and "the delivery and dedication of the State Security Forces and Bodies". Garcia wanted to renew his commitment to them after ensuring that Interior "is in the best hands."
