Miguel Angel Gomez Gonzalez, 39, and David Perez Carracedo, 43, died when a speedboat rammed the police’s smaller vessel. Two other officers were injured, one seriously. The incident happened in the southern port of Barbate, near Cadiz, on Friday night.According to Spanish daily El Pais, Barbate’s mayor, Miguel Molina, contacted the Civil Guard asking for assistance after six “narco-boats” were spotted by residents sheltering from a storm in the city’s port. The deadly boat chase occurred later that evening. In a video shared on social media, people on the shore can be heard seemingly cheering the traffickers on as the speedboat collides with the police boat. The incident has shaken the local community – and sparked calls to give police more powers to fight drug traffickers. Local media said the eight people arrested include known drug dealers and money launderers. As they were brought into court on Monday morning, they were heckled by onlookers, who shouted “murderers” and “rot in jail”. More than a thousand people attended the agents’ funerals, which were held on Sunday. In a statement, the Spanish Guardia Civil officers’ association (AUGC) said it has long demanded a “real plan” to provide officers with better means and resources to fight drug traffickers, and called for the resignation of Spain’s interior minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska.For his part, Mr Grande-Marlaska said the deaths of the two officers amounted to an “assassination” and promised “zero impunity” in efforts to stop drug trafficking. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said he “deeply regrets” the deaths and paid tribute to “the great work” done by security forces in the fight against trafficking. Cadiz and the surrounding region are known to be key points of entry for traffickers smuggling drugs. In particular the nearby 15km-wide (9 mile) Strait of Gibraltar, which separates Europe from Africa, is a favoured route among drug smugglers.Related TopicsSpainMore on this storyThe homemade submarines smuggling cocaine to EuropePublished21 April 2023Underwater drug-smuggling drones seized by policePublished4 July 2022Top StoriesLive. ‘Where can we go?’ Fear in Rafah after Israeli strikes kill dozensLabour defends standing by candidate despite Israel remarksPublished8 minutes agoDeliveroo and Uber Eats riders to strike on Valentine’s DayPublished24 minutes agoFeaturesHow Vogue kept its cover shoot of 40 famous stars secretInside Ukraine’s struggle to find new men to fightUsher shines at Super Bowl half-time showDeadpool and Wicked trailers air in Super Bowl adsWatch: Kelce and Swift celebrate at Super Bowl.

His campaign launched its account with the username “@bidenhq” during the Super Bowl on Sunday. In a launch video, captioned “lol hey guys”, aides quizzed Mr Biden about his preferences for the big game.The president signed legislation in 2022 blocking most federal government devices from using TikTok.Several states have also adopted the measure. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have called for the app – owned by Chinese company ByteDance – to be banned in the US over concerns the government in Beijing might be able to access user data. Still, the site remains popular with young people in the US, a demographic that Democratic strategists are keen to energise for this November’s election. Mr Biden’s TikTok account will not be run by the president himself, but by his campaign team, aides told US media. Asked in the launch video if he was rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs or the San Francisco 49ers, Mr Biden said the Philadelphia Eagles, because otherwise “I’d be sleeping alone” as “my wife’s a Philly girl”. He was also asked about a Taylor Swift Super Bowl conspiracy theory that saw some claim the singer’s relationship with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce was part of a plot to rig the NFL’s championship game and help get Mr Biden re-elected this November.”I’d get in trouble if I told you” about the conspiracy, Mr Biden joked. His 2024 campaign is hoping to rekindle the record high turnout from young people that helped lift Mr Biden to victory in the last election.Around 50% of that bloc voted in 2020, according to Tufts University’s Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement. Some 65% of voters between the ages of 18 to 24 voted for the Democratic president. But opinion polling indicate that electoral coalition could be fraying. Some surveys suggest certain younger voters, who are more likely to see Mr Biden as too pro-Israel, have become disaffected with his handling of the Gaza war, or because they feel he has not done enough on student loan forgiveness.Most alarmingly for Democratic strategists, some surveys have even found Mr Biden trailing his rival, former President Donald Trump, 77, among younger voters. The 81-year-old president’s age has also been a major concern for voters of all ages. Up to 75% of voters believe Mr Biden is too old for the job, opinion polling suggests.The White House suffered political embarrassment last week when a justice department inquiry into his handling of classified documents called him a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory”.
