How does the Union view the assignment of inspectors to the new Integration, Migration and Asylum Agency (AIMA) to conduct investigations into asylum procedures, despite AIMA having inherited only administrative powers?
The transition diploma only provides for the temporary functional assignment to AIMA of personnel from the Criminal Investigation Career (CIF) of the SEF in the categories of Coordinating Inspector and Senior Coordinating Inspector, and not for the assignment of Inspectors or Chief Inspectors.
This option seems to us to translate that the role of the CIF in this area will not be to implement the processes – to lead and instruct, but rather to train and transfer knowledge, and to provide advice to new elements – from general careers – who will ensure the implementation of these missions, thus fulfilling what we believe was the political motto for the entire process of eradicating the SEF: that these functions should no longer be carried out by police officers.
Maintaining police elements that now directly carry out asylum procedures – under the same conditions in which they have been doing so in an exemplary manner for more than thirty years – would be a total paradox given the political aims of this transition. In this case, we should ask ourselves: after all, what is the reason for all this transformation?

In your estimate, how many inspectors will be posted, including temporary assignments, in each of the seven entities in which this relocation is planned?
At present, there is no estimate of the temporary allocations, as the number of inspectors to be assigned to each entity will depend on the level of training of each of them to carry out the tasks assigned to them autonomously, in accordance with the law. In the case of the Judicial Police (PJ), to which all CIF employees will transfer, the intention is that the CIF will become available to all employees in this career at the end of the two-year transition period.
However, during the transition period it will no longer have inspectors with a temporary functional assignment. In the case of the GNR and the PSP, the role of the SEF PJ inspectors during the transition period will essentially be to address the gaps that still exist in the training of the personnel of these security forces for certain areas of border control. , namely in the 1st and 2nd line.
In the 3rd line of airports, where there is already criminal investigation and documentary expertise, we as PJ inspectors will support the PSP.

For the most part, the number of inspectors to be assigned to each of the forces will always have to be reasonably lower than the contingent assigned by the SEF to the respective border posts.
As you know, and DN has already reported this, this does not happen at airports in any case. Although the number of PSP graduates is even higher than that of SEF, inspectors remain at the borders…
What the law stipulates is that the PSP and the GNR – both large armed forces, with more than twenty thousand operational personnel each – have reorganized themselves in recent months to take on these responsibilities, through their own police officers and guards.
This is what we hope: that both institutions respond to the mission entrusted to them and to which we will contribute, through training and support. If this were not the case, everything would be nothing more than a cosmetic operation, with the security forces simply being in charge of border control, while it would continue to be carried out by PJ inspectors.

In the case of the Border and Foreigners Control Unit (UCFE) of the Internal Security System (SSI), the law stipulates that all personnel assigned to the Border Technical Bureau, the personnel performing functions in the field of recording and disseminating information on precautionary measures to the SEF Central Directorate for Immigration and Documentation, as well as 15 elements of the CIF of the categories mentioned in the law. We estimate the total to be no more than two dozen operational personnel.
As for the other entities, AIMA and the Tax Authorities, the number of people affected depends on the gaps that actually need to be filled using the knowledge and experience of employees of the CIF, and so far we have not received any communication received. indications regarding the contingent that will affect each of them.
Do you already know how the PJ will distribute the inspectors from the SEF across the country?
All the information we have about this distribution is the guarantee contained in the transition diploma and publicly reiterated by Mr. Minister of the Interior: that SEF PJ inspectors will carry out tasks at the location where they are originally located or, if this does not exist, at the location included in the preference list, or even at the Tax Authorities – which is spread across the entire territory.
This is a matter of great concern to SEF inspectors. The very possibility of being relocated far from home, family and children after ten, twenty or thirty years of service is in itself a source of socio-professional destabilization.

However, we cannot fail to note in this regard the great openness and understanding that we found in the hon. National Director of the PJ for this issue, who was willing to learn more about the individual situation of each employee moving to the PJ, and to look for solutions – within the range of the capabilities and capabilities of the PJ – that best suit each specific case.
What are your biggest concerns a month before the SEF’s extinction?
If something in this political process is not working as it should, then surely both the PJ and SEF inspectors are completely unaware of any deviation from what has been negotiated or what is envisaged in the published laws.
Our concerns can be summarized as one: there is just over a month left before the SEF is lifted and we realize that the government and other security forces and services are significantly behind the deadlines set out in the laws adopted by the Assembly of Republic and by the Government itself – and proclaimed by the President of the Republic.
