The political formation, led in the municipality by Isaac García, has urged the governing team, composed of PSOE, IU/Podemos, and former councilors from Más Madrid, to settle these debts immediately.
According to Vox's statements, local police officers are not formally calling for a strike but are choosing not to work overtime as a protest measure while non-payments persist. "The Coslada Police will not go on strike, they simply will not work overtime while they are owed money, which any worker in the same situation would do," stated Isaac García.
“"The mayor intends for police officers to work overtime while owing them amounts that reach up to 15,000 euros. He is forcing them to go to court to demand something that is rightfully theirs, as has already been confirmed by court ruling."
The Vox spokesperson also indicated that some officers have been forced to resort to legal action to claim the amounts owed to them. Furthermore, Vox emphasizes that the situation is exacerbated by an alleged lack of staff in the Local Police force, which increases the workload for available officers and hinders the retention of new recruits.
The political formation asserts that this issue negatively impacts public safety and police presence on the streets of Coslada throughout the year. García criticized the City Council for having economic surpluses and sound financial accounts, suggesting that resolving the problem depends on "political will" and accusing the mayor of "squandering on judicial proceedings and interests that we all pay for as residents of Coslada."
