Interior se prepara para el relevo clave del jefe de los Mossos después de las tensiones por las infiltraciones

The Spanish Interior Ministry is preparing for a crucial leadership transition within the Mossos d'Esquadra police force, following tensions stemming from infiltration concerns. The organization, characterized by a relatively small leadership structure, has been marred by internal rivalries and a history of discord among its ranks.

In October, the current Commissioner General, Miquel Esquius, is set to retire. The appointment of his successor falls under the purview of the Minister of Interior, Núria Parlon. However, for the handover to proceed smoothly, it requires the approval of the police chief, Josep Lluis Trapero. This transition is testing Parlon's ability to work effectively with her deputy, a relationship that has been strained in recent months due to controversies within the Interior Ministry.

Parlon has assured reporters, speaking with Efe, that the appointment will be made "with a certain naturalness and tranquility." However, sources within Interior have confirmed that the designation is "tied," and the appointment will be made in the coming weeks.
