Police and civil guards lock themselves in the Interior Ministry after negotiations about their retirement stall

Police and civil guard representatives in Madrid are demanding dignified pensions and recognition as high-risk professions. Their protest follows a meeting with the Secretary of State for Security, where negotiations were halted due to upcoming elections. Union leaders express frustration over a lack of concrete commitments after nearly a year of discussions. They seek improved pension conditions and legal recognition of their profession's risks, similar to other police forces. The Interior Ministry claims to have worked on these issues but acknowledges the need for further dialogue in the next legislative term.
