The Council of Ministers this week authorized the Ministry of the Interior an investment of 900 million euros to execute a second phase of the Infrastructure Plan for State Security (PLISE) launched in 2019. It is the largest investment in reform, rehabilitation or construction of buildings for police use of the democratic stage, which will remain in execution until 2034. In the Principality of Asturias, the PLISE II includes two performances for new Civil Guard headquarters in Avilés, with a budget of 11 million euros, and in Pravia, with a budget of 6 million euros.
The investment of 900 million euros represents an increase of 50 percent over that executed in the first PLISE 2019-2025, which was born endowed with 600 million. Of the total, 800 million euros will cover projects for renovation or new construction of buildings attached to the State Secretariat for Security, the National Police and the Civil Guard. The remaining 100 million will cover several actions planned in the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla.
By police force, the projects affecting National Police buildings include the second phase of the construction of a new headquarters for the Special Operations Group (GEO) in Guadalajara, the completion of the new Technological Building that rises in the Canillas Police Complex (Madrid) or the complete rehabilitation of the headquarters of the Superior Police Headquarters of Aragón in Zaragoza, as well as numerous local police stations.
In the case of the Civil Guard, the investment approved in the PLISE-II Extraordinary 2026-2034 will allow to undertake projects such as the integral rehabilitation of the Civil Guard Non-Commissioned Officers Academy in Úbeda (Jaén), new commanders in Toledo and Alicante or a new headquarters for the Corps Criminalistics Service in Madrid, among other actions.
Finally, this phase will also finance various projects in unique buildings attached to the Secretary of State for Security of the Ministry of the Interior, among which the construction of two residences for National Police and Civil Guard agents in Ibiza stands out. With regard to Ceuta and Melilla, the PLISE-II Extraordinary 2026-2034 will enable proceedings at the headquarters of the National Police Headquarters and the Civil Guard Headquarters in both autonomous cities. €1.9 billion The total amount of infrastructure attached to the State Security Forces and Corps is 3,302 buildings, of which 694 are attached to the General Directorate of the Police and 2,608 to the General Directorate of the Civil Guard. Given the age and obsolescence of much of this real estate park, on January 18, 2019, the Council of Ministers approved the Infrastructure Plan for State Security 2019-2025, with an investment of 600 million euros in the following seven years for the reform and construction of National Police stations, Civil Guard barracks and unique buildings of the Secretary of State for Security. In 2021, that budget was extended with 400 million euros from the European funds Next Generation, contributed by the Ministry of Ecological Transition and for the Demographic Challenge within the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR) to cover works to improve the energy efficiency of rehabilitated or newly built buildings.
Once the PLISE-II Extraordinary 2026-2034 authorized on Tuesday by the Council of Ministers has been implemented, the Ministry of the Interior will have invested a total of 1.9 billion euros since 2019 in the adaptation and improvement of police infrastructures, a figure that does not include the actions that both the National Police and the Civil Guard will have undertaken in those fifteen years from their own budgets.
