Villarejo places Pedro Sánchez as one of the main enemies of Pablo Iglesias

The former police commissioner José Manuel Villarejo, for years a plumber in the State sewers, has placed the current acting president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, as one of the main enemies of his former vice president and former leader of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, and has assured who has spoken about the GAL with Felipe González.

The ex-policeman, who has starred in a new face to face in El Món at RAC1 this time with the former purple leader, has assured that it was the PSOE that "tried to boycott as much as possible the PP's actions of supporting Podemos to reduce support for the socialists", and has supported his thesis on the fact that the memory card that gave rise to the so-called Dina case, about the journey that the telephone card of the former Podemos advisor Dina Bousselham had from the time her mobile phone was stolen in 2015 until Part of the information it contained appeared published, it was given to him in 2016 by journalist Alberto Pozas, who would later be Director General of National Information under the Secretary of State for Communication in the first government of Pedro Sánchez. "Pedro Sáncez's second man in the campaign," said Villarejo.

The former commissioner has subsequently insisted that the President of the Government, who he says follows "the maxim of the KGB", is one of his main enemies. "He knows that Iglesias was his greatest competition, because of his leadership and strength." However, he has also spoken of other people who, in his opinion, wanted to destroy Iglesias, such as the then director of the CNI, Félix Sanz Roldán, the former vice president of Rajoy's government, Soraya Sáez de Santamaría, and the former president of Andalusia Susana Díaz . "There were a series of characters who understood the evidence that this man had sufficient strength and leadership. They understood the danger he posed," explained Villarejo.

Although Villarejo is behind the campaigns to destroy the reputation of the former vice president and his party, the former commissioner has distanced himself from them, particularly from the so-called PISA report (Pablo Iglesias SA), for which it was blame Podemos for irregular financing from Iran and Venezuela. "It was a botched job, they were cuts and very unreliable things," said the former agent, who has been convinced that Iglesias is in all the CNI recordings: "Already in 2014, when I was in Europe (as an MEP) I followed him an escort from the airport, who had the obligation to report everything".

In fact, asked if he thinks he should apologize to Pablo Iglesias, he has limited himself to acknowledging that "perhaps for not having warned him of what was coming to him" and has even praised him from the political disagreement: "We Spaniards need politicians." like Pablo Iglesias, although ideologically we do not agree on criteria.”

Given this praise, the former leader of Podemos has defined his interlocutor as a "journalistic operator" who contributes to the destruction of reputation by filtering true or false information. "We have suffered years of media violence, which shows that the most corrupt profession in that country is journalism," Iglesias reproached.

In the course of mourning, Villarejo, who spent more than two years in preventive detention, has predicted that if he returns to prison "they will commit suicide in a few days" and has justified it in the things he knows about many people, from "all of Spain." ", he goes on to say, "People know that my memory has very dangerous memories and there are many people who are still very afraid because there are many tapes that have never been decrypted," said the former police officer, who recalled that they had confiscated him. more than a thousand tapes with recordings, although they do not appear in any record of registration.

“Everyone appears… I have spoken about the GAL with Felipe González,” exemplified the former commissioner, who also indicated that he had a very good relationship with the former socialist Minister of Justice Enrique Múgica, with whom he had also spoken about State terrorism: "The best ETA is the dead ETA," he told him. "Felipe never spoke to me in a direct or concise way," admitted the former police officer, who has also referred to Mariano Rajoy. "When he sent me tasks through third parties, he always said: it seems like it will rain. And you have to interpret it,” he explained.

“Since I was with the anti-terrorist groups in the north I have been in contact with everyone. "I became a police officer to solve problems and not to pretend or to be passing by," the former agent justified himself, who, questioned by Iglesias, denied that he had ever tortured anyone. "I have never seen electrical torture, that was invented by the CIA, who later distributed it in Spain for the Cesed and then the Cesid."

"I imagine that he says this because of his party's campaign to vindicate the 1975 complaint. I am looking forward to being summoned to prove that I was never in the FRAP or GRAP groups," he replied.
