Carnival season is upon us once again, but this year the Interior Ministry has already put a spoiler on the proceedings by banning any costumes with a police theme.
An official statement released has banned the wearing of a Guardia Civil uniform, or any part of it, from the celebrations, saying that the garments are solely for the use of members.
