Overview

  • The Audiencia Nacional has admitted Jupol’s collective conflict suit against the Interior Ministry and the National Police Directorate, with preliminary statements set for 12 November.
  • The Asociación Equiparación Real has filed an administrative claim demanding recognition for Policía Nacional and Guardia Civil, with plans to escalate to TSJ Madrid, the Audiencia Nacional or EU institutions if rejected.
  • The actions build on a 21 May Supreme Court decision ordering the Government to recognize the National Police profession as one of risk, shifting the dispute to enforcement.
  • Claimants say recognition would enable early-retirement coefficients and bring pension conditions in line with regional forces such as the Mossos d'Esquadra and the Ertzaintza.
  • The association cites support from roughly 20,000–22,000 agents and its lawyers estimate the cost under €1 billion, figures presented by the claimants and not independently verified in these reports.
