Responsibilities and cross accusations
The controversy over the non-arrest of Carles Puigdemont, currently in exile, has generated a wave of responsibilities that point directly to the Mossos d’Esquadra. This interpretation is based on the recent report sent by the Ministry of the Interior to the Supreme Court, where it is ensured that the Catalan police forces did not request additional assistance for the capture operation.
The reaction of the State
The Ministry of the Interior has tried to distance itself from the situation, arguing that the Mossos did not ask for support from the Spanish police forces, including the Civil Guard. This strategy seems designed to reduce their responsibility in the failed arrest attempt, while the Mossos face growing criticism.
Differences in media coverage
The media have approached the situation from divergent perspectives. While the ABC and El Mundo point out that Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska ignored the arrest warrants, other voices like that of El Mundo point to possible infiltrations within the Mossos that could have facilitated Puigdemont’s escape.
Internal investigations and suspicions
The investigations that are being carried out within the body of the Mossos have focused on the possibility that there is a ‘mole’ that has helped Puigdemont to evade arrest. Internal sources have indicated that suspicions fall on the team responsible for monitoring the president in exile during his visit to Barcelona.
Institutional support and official visits
At a time of great pressure for the Catalan police, the Prime Minister, Salvador Illa, and the Minister of the Interior, Núria Parlón, are scheduled to visit the Central Complex of the Police Force in Sabadell. This visit, which seeks to reaffirm the government’s confidence in the Mossos, will come at a time when the body is under intense review.
Remembering an emblematic figure in design
In another record, the newspapers La Vanguardia and Ara have dedicated space to remember the legacy of the industrial designer Miguel Milá, who died recently at the age of 93. Milá was a key figure in the development of contemporary design in Catalonia and Spain, with works that have been recognized internationally.
A legacy of creativity
His company, Tramo, marked the beginning of a new era in furniture and lighting design, with iconic pieces such as the TMC and TMM lamps, which have left a lasting mark on design history. Milá was one of the pioneers who paved the way for future generations.
A look at the present
With a political situation in constant evolution and a media landscape full of nuances, today’s conference invites us to reflect on the dynamics of power and responsibility that are unleashed in moments of crisis. The reaction of the government and society to these events will be key to understanding the future of the political debate in Catalonia.
