To do this, the evolution of crime types and advances in technological innovation will be taken into account.
PNV, PSE-EE and PP reached an agreement on Thursday in the plenary meeting of the Basque Parliament change in which they demand that the Basque government update technical and defense resources of the Ertzaintza staff.
The amendment approved by the House specifically calls for this update to be carried out within the Ertzaintza modernization plan through a permanent dialogue with both the Ertzaintza professionals and the social part.
This will take into account both “the evolution of criminal types” and progress in technological innovation, adds the approved initiative, which has had the support of the groups that signed the amendments, which Vox has joined, while EH Bildu abstained.
This debate was brought to Parliament via a PP motion. Parliamentarian Ainhoa Domaica has appreciated the commitment of the PNV and PSE-EE to update defense equipment.
Domaica recalled the increase in crimes in the Basque Country in recent times and the proliferation of edged weapons, and although the initiative does not mention ‘Taser’ guns, electric shock weapons, he has put forward a defense against them that already exists. They are used in some units of the Ertzaintza, and have requested their use be expanded to civil defense and traffic units.
However, at no point is the approved initiative mentioning the ‘Taser’ pistols, which, as PNV MP Jon Andoni Atutxa reminded, although they are ‘less lethal’ weapons, does not mean that their use is without risk is.
