Be careful with the Balearic Islands

Last year, La Directa uncovered the case of a police officer infiltrating the pro-independence left. His initials were I.J.E.G., but he used the name Marc Hernàndez Pons. It is the one that appeared on the identity card that the Secretary of State for Security prepared for him so that no one mistrusted him. He used it to enroll in the University of Barcelona. He pretended to be Majorcan, but he was actually from Menorca. An inch more, an inch less, it doesn't matter. With that false identity, he was a member of the Sindicat d' Estudiants dels Països Catalans, in the Resistim al Gòtic collective and in the Casal Popular Lina Òdena. The Government then considered that he would have committed crimes of documentary falsification and identity theft, but find him now when he has already disappeared from the map.

Now the case of a second infiltrated policeman has been uncovered. This is a guy who also claimed to be Majorcan – this one was really – and who, like the other, would have been infiltrating anti-establishment groups in Barcelona for years, starting from the occupied center La Cinètika, in Sant Andreu. He bought a Palestinian scarf, put on earrings, combed his hair into a mohawk, wore T-shirts with anti-fascist and anti-police messages, and tattooed a chaos star on his knee. The false name that the police authorities gave him was Daniel Hernàndez Pons.

Let's see: from now on all the infiltrated policemen will be baptized with the surnames Hernàndez Pons? Creating spy profiles with a sequence of two repeating last names is botched. Do they have so little creativity that they are not able to choose others, even for a change? It's a pity that Fernando Pessoa is in the poet's limbo, because he could prepare a dossier for the police with a long list of heteronyms to hide it a bit.
