On the eve of our knowledge of the Supreme Court ruling on the separatist coup of October 2017, new information throws disturbing conclusions regarding the scenario that secessionism prepares to receive the ruling, presumably condemnatory. As we publish today, the National Court has opened a new procedure linked to the Judas operation that is currently investigating the creation of a Catalan CNI formed by people from the most radical wing of independence. It would be a body outside the official organization chart of the Generalitat of Quim Torra but coordinated with it that directs in the shadow the so-called Committees for the Defense of the Republic (CDR). This mixed intelligence body has been dedicated to giving concrete instructions to the seven detainees for belonging to a terrorist organization, manufacturing and possession of explosives and conspiracy to wreak havoc.

The facts we reveal are extremely serious. The State Security Forces and Bodies have intercepted communications that expressly encouraged the members of the so-called Tactical Response Team (ERT) - a sort of specifically violent subgroup of the CDRs - to promote violent actions on the grounds that they constituted «An essential tool for independence». And these operations, in the opinion of the investigators, were supervised by the Information Security Center of Catalonia, a liaison body with the Government of Torra that coordinated according to the judge the attempt to assault the Catalan Parliament after hearing the ruling of the Supreme Court.

The name of Judas with which this investigation has been baptized is thus understood. Because everything indicates that we are facing an unfair split of a part of the State in Catalonia that uses the springs and the public budget to turn against the rest of the State with the clear objective of breaking it. That is, the worst betrayal of the institutional loyalty required in the Constitution and the Statute. That these plans have been developed in recent months with the complicity of Torra not only justifies its censorship - that before which the PSC abstained, taken from its infamous equidistance - but demands an attitude of maximum vigilance and foresight by the Sánchez Government. No one can be deceived anymore: the subversive intentions of the separatist movement led by Torra and articulated by official and informal bodies dedicated to insurrectionary work are in sight.

There are few hours left for us to know the most decisive judicial ruling since the democracy began in 1978. Based on past and most recent experience, no exercise of responsibility can be expected from the Generalitat, including the role of the Mossos . The Government of Spain, on the other hand, we hope that it does not make the same mistakes that Mariano Rajoy made in his day, overwhelmed by events that were very predictable but whose signs were determined to ignore. The sentence must be complied with, the law must be followed and public order throughout Catalonia must be guaranteed with all the necessary legal force. We uniquely appeal to Minister Marlaska, who has starred in two embarrassing episodes of anger at the Civil Guard dome: he must depose that attitude and close ranks with his agents.
