Guerra shows his "sympathy" for Pérez de los Cobos: "He risked it in Catalonia" in the pro-independence "coup"

MADRID, 30 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The former vice president of the Government Alfonso Guerra has indicated that he has "quite sympathy" for the Colonel of the Civil Guard Diego Pérez de los Cobos because "he played it" in Catalonia as head of the police operation deployed to face the illegal referendum on October 1 of 2017, which he has described as a "coup d'état".

"I have a lot of sympathy for Pérez de los Cobos, because he risked it in Catalonia when the coup d'état by the nationalists," Guerra said in an interview on Cadena COPE, collected by Europa Press, for the reissue of his book 'La España in which I believe.

The one who was 'number two' in the government of the socialist Felipe González has expressed himself in this way when asked about his opinion on the minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska and the latest cases of controversy in the Ministry of the Interior, such as the decision of the Court Supreme Court to agree with Pérez de los Cobos and annul his dismissal as head of the Madrid Civil Guard Command.

Having said this, Guerra has opined that "the conservative sectors are wrong when they put all the meat on the grill" of their criticism "on Mr. Marlaska", since - he has considered - "there are other more generic things" that are the that he is interested in.

Guerra has also wanted to draw "attention" and criticize the current behavior of the political parties and the "panorama" they are leaving behind. "Each one gives each other a nun's pinch, in such and such a thing", he has censured.
