The Government does not rule out "moving a file" before the new revelations about the Catalonia operation

The Government agrees with a lot of skepticism and little hope that the Catalonia operation will have criminal consequences. The Cabinet chaired by Pere Aragonès considers it practically a chimera that those responsible are brought to justice, but even so it does not throw in the towel and "will make a move" if it considers that it can be "useful in some sense". All in all, the spokesperson Patrícia Plaja has been very graphic today before the press when intoning a "hopefully" before hoping that the perpetrators of these illegal practices "respond and be convicted." But "these are events that happened more than ten years ago and, therefore, the confidence that it is yes is low", Plaja lamented in the round after the meeting of the Executive Council.

A joint investigation by La Vanguardia and CronicaLibre.com reveals today that the Ministry of the Interior led by Jorge Fernández Díaz decided to launch the Catalonia operation on September 12, 2012, one day after the massive demonstration in Barcelona on the occasion of the Diada . The publication and admission by the investigating court number 13 of Madrid of a complaint have caused for the moment that the constitution of the investigation commission in Congress that was agreed in September to be launched be accelerated.

The Catalonia operation refers to the existence of an organization made up of members of the Police, the Government of Mariano Rajoy and the PP that, with the help of journalists and the media, hatched a plan against the Catalan independence movement.

“We follow the information that we are learning in detail and we believe that we must go to the end; Therefore, if at any time it is considered opportune and necessary, useful and practical for the Government to make a move in some way, it will be done that way”, Plaja clarified.

The Congress Table has reactivated the investigation commission and has given the parliamentary groups fifteen days to designate their representatives. The spokesperson for the Catalan Executive has celebrated this fact "if they have to serve to clarify, shed light and so that those responsible for the sewers of the State and all their collaborators pay before the justice", at the same time that she has reproached that when these commissions are requests for the appearance of personalities who have had or have institutional responsibilities are often ignored within the framework of the Parliament of Catalonia.
