Answer

How many Guardia Civil posts are affected in the Balearic Islands?

The recruitment round was meant to fill 165 posts across the Balearic Islands, but the reported result was a net loss after transfers and only a small number of new arrivals. The figures cited by JUCIL point to a staffing deficit rather than an increase. That is why the personnel situation is being treated as a serious problem.
