Overview

  • Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska presided over the ceremony on García Barbón, which featured tributes and the presentation of police merit decorations.
  • Grande-Marlaska awarded Mayor Abel Caballero the Cross of Police Merit with white insignia during the morning event attended by senior judicial and regional officials.
  • A total of 298 National Police officers took part in formations and a parade, which severely slowed traffic in central Vigo.
  • García Barbón is closed between República Argentina and Colón, Colón faces an additional closure from 13:00 to 14:00, and Policarpo Sanz is reserved for participating police vehicles.
  • Temporary traffic reversals and filters are in force, including Cervantes set to descending from Urzáiz and bus reroutes by Vitrasas following a bus-lane closure, with drivers advised to avoid the AP-9’s last exit and use Beiramar, Isaac Peral or Buenos Aires instead.
