The Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, complies with the Supreme Court ruling and reinstates Colonel Diego Pérez de los Cobos, after he was dismissed as head of the Madrid Civil Guard Command due to “loss of confidence”.
After the Supreme Court declared his dismissal illegal, alleging that the motivation did not conform “to reality”. Colonel De los Cobos requested his reinstatement to the Ministry of the Interior. Marlaska, for her part, referred to the deadlines established by the Justice and that would allow the decision to be postponed until after the general elections on 23J, according to ‘Europa Press’.
Once the elections have been held, when will Diego Pérez de los Cobos be able to return to his post? The sources indicate that the restitution has already been communicated to the judicial headquarters as well as to the colonel, according to the aforementioned news agency. His reinstatement as head of the Civil Guard Command in Madrid will be published next week in the official bulletin of the Civil Guard.
The colonel was dismissed in 2020
Colonel Pérez de los Cobos was fired in May 2020, after an investigation was launched into the possible connection between the 8M demonstration and the increase in coronavirus infections. Grande-Marlaska affirmed that he would comply with the Supreme Court ruling to reinstate him.
