  • Interior.Pablo Casado demands Pedro Sánchez to explain if he has ordered the Civil Guard to work to "minimize" criticism of the Government

"In my 40 years of profession, as an ETA counter-terrorism service , on missions abroad ... if there is one thing I have learned it is that people come first. There are no ideologies. All of us here, all of us you and we are a team. " And then, after finishing the intervention of the Civil Guard General José Manuel Santiago, the rest of the technical team greeted him with an applause at La Moncloa, an applause that seemed scripted.

These were the only references by the General Chief of the General Staff to his controversial words yesterday in which he said that the Civil Guard was working "to minimize the climate contrary to the Government", words that were disqualified by the Interior and Defense Ministers and which later they were denied in an official note from the General Directorate of the Armed Institute. Grande Marlaska came to describe them as "lapses" .

Now, together with his colleagues in the technical committee, not a single reference to these words, nor a rectification or clarification . The daily appearance has become an act of redress towards the general.

And, for the act to be complete, no question was raised to the general about one of the most relevant political controversies of the coronavirus crisis.

Only a brief intervention by Fernando Simón in which he defended the honesty of those who make up the technical committee and defended the tension to which they are subjected. "Using flaws in the speeches to harm the technical team is not decent, " he said. Simón assured that the technical team that appears daily "works as honestly as possible" He assured that the technicians are "at the limit of their resistance"
