National Plan to Fight Violent Radicalisation (PEN-LCRV), 2015 (Plan estratégico nacional de lucha contra la radicalización violenta (PEN-LRCV) (2015)

The PEN-LCRV, assumes violent radicalization as one of the main risks to national security and articulates State policy in this area through an integral and national structure that allows the prevention of radicalization processes from culminating in violent extremism and/or terrorism.
This Plan understands that through an integral and coordinated action it will be possible to face any generator of violence in an effective manner, putting the necessary resources of the State.
The Ministry of the Interior is the department responsible for coordinating all the State action, it has designated the Intelligence Center against Terrorism and Organized Crime (CITCO), to implement and develop the Strategy, and coordinate a specific working group for its drafting, of representatives from twelve ministries, the National Intelligence Center (CNI) and other agencies attached to the Administration. It has also consulted its design with other departments of the Ministry of the Interior, social assistance organizations or observatories to ensure respect for the fundamental rights of citizens, and also sought advice from private institutions and specialized areas of different university centers.
The objective of the Plan is to "constitute an effective instrument for early detection and neutralization of outbreaks and outbreaks of violent radicalism, acting on those communities, groups or individuals at risk or vulnerability".

The objective of the Plan focuses on: to be an effective tool for early detection and neutralization of outbreaks and centers of violent radicalism, acting on those communities, groups or individuals at risk or vulnerability.
Plan distinguishes three areas of activity: the internal (in Spain), the external (outside Spain) and cyberspace (on the Internet) and has three areas of action defined by the "before" (area of prevention), "during" (Watch area) and the "after" (area of action) of any radicalization process.

With regard to the sustainability of the plan, the funds and resources available to ensure its continuity are essentially State resources already in existence, the State places at the service of the plan State resources, especially those related to security, working together to raise awareness and awareness of Spanish society about the threat posed by violent extremism.

The plan is the result of an analysis on the security structure of the Spanish state and its society, above all on its social reality, therefore the plan will be transferable to other realities or countries as long as it adapts to the parameters of the question it wants to face and about the individuals it wants to reach.
The plan intends from understanding, education and cooperation between the different social actors involved in the radicalization process, to achieve the prevention of this phenomenon so that in the case of wanting to transfer the plan to another country will have to make a prior analysis of the needs of this country and its reality because education may not be the best tool to prevent the problem and more attention should be paid to cooperation between law enforcement agencies or vice versa. For this reason, the plan is transferable whenever it adapts.

A continuous evaluation, from the same moment of its approval, on its development and implementation. Another, focused on its process, objectives and impacts. It will be carried out after the first three years of the Plan's development, following the criteria of the AEVAL (Agency of Evaluation and Quality) with a team of mixed evaluators. The National Group - LCRV assumes the promotion and commission of both evaluations, and a work group, designated by the group, will carry out the evaluations; it shall report both issues to the corresponding Authority and shall propose such corrective or complementary measures as it deems necessary.
As the first evaluation was planned for the first three years, there is no evidence of the assessments made.

The Plan foresees an interministerial cooperation between 12 ministries, including the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is in charge of coordinating the external action of the Ministry. State on the phenomenon of radicalization and violent extremism, coordinating in turn the cooperation with international forums where it is considered that the Spanish state must be present:
- European bodies and institutions as RAN, COPPRA (Community Policing Preventing Radicalization and Terrorism) or COTER TWP.
- International Organizations and Institutions, such as the Global Counterterrorism Forum, United Nations and its units (UNICRI, CTED and CTITF), Council of Europe, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Financial Action Task Force ) and NATO, among others.
Co-operation at the internal level is also foreseen, not only between ministries, but also between the various law enforcement agencies (armaments, civil guards, local police, regional police and national police).
Public Administration: It is the responsible actor that assumes the implementation of the Plan. The PEN-LCRV distinguishes different levels in the Administration. A single body
centralized and interministerial level, the national, and multisectoral groups at local, provincial and / or regional level. Following the established criteria, the State will act through the different departments of the General State Administration (AGE, in Spanish), establishing a forced collaboration of the rest of administrations. They will be coordinated by the state public security field
Collective at risk or vulnerable to the threat of radicalization. Cooperating actors will be the directly affected by the development of the Plan. Once determined, in the first Management Plan, the ideology that sustains the priority threat, the groups at risk or more vulnerable will be identified affected by it. It will facilitate the incorporation of these groups to the structures created, through qualified individuals and / or representatives of representative entities
Civil society as a whole.
The most representative social entities will also have the character of cooperating actor. Its representatives will be designated to collaborate in the development of this Plan, prioritizing those sectors of greater incidence in relation to the problematic of integration and social assistance. It will also be explicitly included in sectors academic or university, as well as social media.
The Plan establishes a single national interministerial and coordinated structure from the Ministry of the Interior that is directly in charge of the implementation and development of the Plan in all its content: National group fight against radicalization violent
This national group is integrated by 12 Ministries, the National Center of Intelligence, the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP), Foundation for Pluralism and Coexistence (is a public state entity, created by agreement of Council of Ministers of October 15, 2004, at the proposal of the Ministry of Justice) and other entities public or private what is considered necessary.
Local Level: In each municipality or local territorial area there will be responsible for the purposes of this Plan, a multisectoral working group to be called the Local Group of Fight against Radical Violation (GL)-LCRV) whose constitution and composition shall conform to criteria similar to those GN-LCRV.
The coordination of these groups will correspond to the local public security sector state, according to territorial jurisdiction. It will also involve: social workers, schools, local police, courts and social entities.

Low since it takes advantage of the mechanisms and tools which are already in operation
Successive management plans will capture the overall economic budgets of the activities they develop. Specifically, it will break down the costs of implementation of each initiative that is contemplated. The affected departments will raise their economic forecasts to GN - LCRV, which will include them in the corresponding annual management plan. The existing instruments are used in the service of the Administration, adjusting and reconciling the competences and needs derived from the implementation and development of the Plan.

As there is a clear terrorist threat: The attacks in 2001 in the United States, in 2002 in Indonesia, in 2003 in Morocco, in 2004 in Spain, in 2005 in the United Kingdom, and recently in January 2015 in France , in Spain several plans were launched for fights against the terrorist threat such as:
- The internal security strategy of the European Union: towards a common security model, 2005
- National security is one of the government's priorities
- The national security strategy (ESN-2013)
- Comprehensive strategy against international terrorism and radicalization (EICTIR), which was approved in 2010 and ratified in 2012.
This Plan responds to a national need to combat violent radicalization in addition to being a relevant instrument within the Spanish strategy against terrorism.

Not enough information available

The Plan seems to be efficient as it takes advantage of the mechanisms and tools, which are already in operation in the Spanish State, the plan does not create news institutions or resources.
On the other part, we cannot make a comparison of another approach to achieving the same outputs in Spain because it is the first time it is carried out, nor can we compare it with other countries because in Spain a cost evaluation to measure the relation between costs and results has not yet been made, or at least the results have not been made public, but as it is foreseen in the plan, in the first three years and comprehensive evaluation will be done in order to determine the efficiency of the plan.

The impact is positive in the first two years of the plan, at least as far as inter-agency cooperation is concerned, training is being developed for local and national law enforcement agencies, intervention has begun in schools and collectives and vulnerable communities that are targeted by this plan.
The plan has three areas of action that are the internal, the external and cyberspace attacking three functional areas such as:
Prevent, monitor and act in each of these areas intervene different actors statates, thus the city of Malaga and the Community of the Basque Country were the first not only to cooperate but to create the Transversal Plan for Coexistence , 2017-2020, (https://goo.gl/hmWp8q ) in the case of Malaga and the Basque Country Strategic Plan in 2015 (https://goo.gl/cxxbuH ), the impact of the plan is therefore positive and those plans carried out by Malaga and the Basque Country remain to be evaluated.

In economic terms, the plan has not foreseen the investment of a great amount of money since it intends to use existing and optimized resources, which means that budget items will be created once the expenditure that has been assumed for each section is included in the management budgets of the following year, therefore sustainability over time is more than viable.

The Plan is fully inclusive because it involves the main actors involved, social workers, teachers, judges, law enforcement agencies, ministries, municipalities, NGOs and associations, as it believes in a prevention approach based on the collaboration of all parties involved, fostering interracial dialogue and influence the conditions that make an individual radical and provoke an attack.
