In a long twitter thread, the former president of the Generalitat, Carles Puigdemont has accused "ministers, police deputies, prosecutors, editors and journalists" of having organized a plot against independence. A "real and still active" plot that, he has predicted, "Spain will never investigate."

Puigdemont's long thread abounds in this thesis.
