Government allies demand that Sánchez go to Congress for the agents infiltrated in social movements

MADRID, 14 (EUROPA PRESS)

Allied parties of the Government such as ERC, Bildu, PDeCAT, Más País and Compromís, and other pro-independence formations such as Junts, the CUP and the BNG have joined forces to request that the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, appear in plenary session of Congress to give account of police infiltrations in social movements, both in Barcelona and in Valencia.

Since two weeks ago the weekly 'La Directa' reported the infiltration for three years of an agent in independence movements in the Catalan capital, the pro-sovereignty parties have been calling the Executive to account in different formats.

In addition to submitting written questions, for example, the ERC spokesman, Gabriel Rufián, raised the issue with Sánchez last Wednesday in the control session with the Government, stressing that, in addition, the agent in question has been the subject of up to five complaints for sexual abuse.

But Sánchez did not get to the bottom of the matter, he limited himself to making a generic defense of the work of the Security Forces and preferred to focus on highlighting the agreements reached in Congress to reform the Citizen Security Law, known as the 'gag law' '.

This Monday, the formations that are now requesting the appearance of Sánchez already registered a request for an appearance addressed to the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, to give details about the infiltration of an agent, of Catalan origin, who according to 'La Directa' , would also have been infiltrated in similar movements in Valencia.

Now these eight parliamentary formations have gone a step further demanding the presence of Sánchez in a monographic plenary session on these police investigations.

This Wednesday the Junts spokeswoman, Miriam Nogueras, could also take advantage of her question to Sánchez in the control session to try to get him to explain. "Is there an abuse of power in State institutions?" Reads the text of the question that she has registered for the president.

At a press conference in Congress, CUP deputy Mireia Vehí stressed that Grande-Marlaska is "the visible face" in this matter, but that the responsibility for these "investigations for ideological reasons" lies with the entire government, including the ministers of United We Can.

Vehí has ​​stressed that what the minister and the president must explain is whether the Interior "controls" what happens in the Information Commissioner and whether or not Defense does the same with the National Intelligence Center (CNI).

Along the same lines, the leader of Más País, Íñigo Errejón, has demanded that the Government explain whether these groups were being investigated for matters of terrorism or drug trafficking and if there is any person denounced. If not, it would prove, from his point of view, that it is infiltration "for ideological reasons."

The deputy of EH Bildu Óskar Matute also spoke about this matter at a press conference, who stressed that in the Basque Country there have been infiltrators "for decades" in the anti-system movements and asked himself "how far is the State willing to go to preserve the indissoluble unity of the homeland and the guarantee of order and law".
