The Mossos leadership defended the ridicule: they believe Puigdemont “is not committed to organized crime”, accuse Utes officials of preventing his arrest and avoid self-criticism

The Mossos leadership justified yesterday’s ridicule by failing to arrest former Governor General Carles Puigdemont before he disappeared in front of a crowd of 4,500 people and 602 deployed police officers.

The outgoing Interior Minister, Joan Ignasi Elena, was the first to speak, with harsh criticism: “This operation did not foresee the improper behavior of the highest organs of state power. It was prepared for this.”

Elena assured that Puigdemont and his entourage wanted to “repeal” the awarding of the penalty “simply because they did not like the result”; and put the ERC government “outside the independence front”. “This is a serious political mistake.”

“People are not being taken advantage of, citizens cannot become extras in a scam,” he concluded of the former government chairman’s performance and his subsequent escape in a white Honda parked in a no-traffic zone issued by police.

In this sense, Chief Commissioner Eduard Sallent said that Mossos d’Esquadra believes what Puigdemont and his entourage have announced for days about his intention to attend the plenary session of the grant: “He is a man who has been president of Parliament “He is not a Jodorovic or someone committed to organized crime. “

During an appearance that lasted more than two hours, Chief Commissioner Edward Salent also accused Jutte’s “elected officials” of preventing his arrest by accompanying him to the Arc de Triomphe stage and taking part in the distraction maneuvers that followed.
