The network of advisers and attachés of Interior, members of the National Police who exercise their function abroad and who act coordinated by the Division of International Cooperation, continue to facilitate the return to their homes of Spaniards living outside our country and, also , that of foreigners residing in Spain and returning to their places of origin.
As an example of this extraordinary work that we are developing, the National Police collaborated with the Peruvian authorities on two chartered flights last week and that they traveled from Lima to Madrid, enabling the repatriation of 528 people, the vast majority of whom were Spanish, who were in Peru. at the time of border closure. Later, a flight returned to the Peruvian capital with 30 citizens who wanted to return to their country of origin.
Likewise, the Government of Argentina collaborated on a flight that allowed 250 Spanish citizens from various Argentine cities to return to Spain. In the same vein, 275 people residing in our country have been repatriated on a plane from Venezuela.
Finally, I want to remember all those family and friends who have lost loved ones and not lived and enjoyed enough, and who reality has prevented in most cases, to fire them as they deserve. Convey encouragement and hope, and of course, all our love. "

Regardless of the fact that the main effort of the Civil Guard is oriented to face the pandemic that affects us, it does not neglect other missions, such as guaranteeing the safety of all citizens. Proof of this is the device that, carried out by specialists from the body in the fight against drug trafficking, is carried out in the Andalusian coastal provinces within the framework of Operation Carteia, which has been in place for almost two years and that during its validity From the state of alarm, 52 actions have been carried out against criminal organizations dedicated to drug trafficking, in which a total of 121 people have been arrested, more than 10,000 kilos of hashish have been seized, ten boats have been seized, fifteen vehicle and a million euros in cash.

I encourage everyone to continue patiently complying with the measures imposed in the state of alarm. And, finally, I want to share a message with all Spaniards: in my forty years of service in the fight against ETA; from the academy; in missions abroad such as El Salvador, Bosnia or Libya, and now in the fight against this pandemic, if I have learned anything it is that the first thing is the people, there are no ideologies, the first thing is the people and all of us who are here, with all of you, we are a team. Thank you".
