He pendrive That and this referred to the State Attorney General’s Office, includes a 2012 recording in which Commissioner José Manuel Villarejo details, then president of the Catalan PP, the plans to disseminate apocryphal police reports with false accusations against Catalan independence leaders. “This war we are going to do,” Villarejo tells the popular Catalan leader, “it is for these types [independentistas de CiU] They don’t get absolute majority. ”
The content of that meeting, recorded by Villarejo, proves the implementation of the so -called Operation Catalonia, with which the Ministry of Interior tried to discredit Catalan independence leaders through prefabricated and often false news disseminated through certain media, always the same. This recording is also part of the documentation provided by Marcelino Martín Blas, former head of Internal Affairs, to denounce in the Congress Investigation Commission the illegal maneuvers of the Patriotic Police against Catalan independence.
The meeting recorded by Villarejo was held on November 6, 2012, only 19 days before the celebration of the regional elections convened by the Government of Artur Mas (CIU) as the beginning of its independence drift that led to two illegal referendums of independence in 2014 and 2017. The meeting, according to the recording, was promoted by
Villarejo. The fact that I am here is that María Dolores de Cospedal trusts you.
Sánchez Camacho. María Dolores is as if it were my sister.
The commissioner tells the head of the Catalan PP who does work for interior and although he is “aside” continues “connected to the ministry.” “I’ve been working for the party for a lifetime [Popular]. I am working here in Barcelona, I go and go. ”
Villarejo says that the Catalan government has been buying equipment for intercepting phones through the Mossos “who are in a van, with a computer and a minimum of antenna”. Sánchez Camacho assures him that he has seen one of those vans near his home and Villarejo asks him to sign up for the registration. “If we detect them, we stop them,” he rivets.
The commissioner explains to Sánchez Camacho that they have infiltrated people in the independence parties but that the vice president Soraya Sáez de Santamaría has not wanted them to do them telephone.
Villarejo. We have people inside. We are not listening. It is a stupidity of your friend the little one [la vicepresidente Soraya Sáez de Santamaría]that is in charge of the CNI and that thinks that it is a ten -step game rule, and here there is one that takes five steps, turns and hit you in the neck. But today we are in process, we have infiltrated and I handle them. ”
Alicia Sánchez Camacho is in turn worried because the plans against Catalan independence are the responsibility of the Interior Minister, Jorge Fernández Díaz, who attributes certain complicities with “the convergent” that govern in Catalonia.
Villarejo tells Sánchez Camacho that the strategy consists of discovering where the main independence leaders (“Los Pujol, Artur Mas and his father, Felipe Puig, Durán I Lleida…). The commissioner emphasizes that“ interests them to fix all the attention in the pujol ”and assures that they have detected in Switzerland up to 2.5 million artur more.
Villarejo. The design we have made is that almost all these actions are doing with the media, but out of institutional issues so as not to burn the party. I have already told María Dolores de Cospedal that neither you nor anyone should give nuclear information under any circumstances ever. And then my team is doing it properly little by little.
The strategy of attacking the independentistas by filtration of alleged corruption scandals in certain media was launched only a few days after this conversation between Villarejo and Alicia Sánchez Camacho.
Villarejo. From the 12th [de noviembre] We are going to paste a squeeze and from 15 to 25 brutal squeeze. I trust that somehow the media does not fail.
Sánchez Camacho. If they do not get absolute majority, he turned this says he has a survey in which they give them 72 …
Villarejo. They have a survey in which they get absolute majority, what happens is that they are silent as whores (…) This war we are going to do is for these types not to take out absolute majority. But from the 26th you have to continue curraking.
Sánchez Camacho. If they get absolute majority, Spain goes to hell.
Villarejo. The issue is that with all these corruptions you have to put them in jail, impute them and such … and the story is over.
In the two weeks of the electoral campaign, certain media aired alleged police reports, of unknown authorship, with all kinds of corruption attributed to the family of former president Jordi Pujol, to the main leaders of CiU and the Catalan government.
The published information, based on a “police report draft”, lasted during the second week of the electoral campaign and denounced an alleged hidden fortune of 137 million euros of Pujol in Geneva; Millions of euros hidden by Artur Mas abroad as a result of the collection of illegal commissions, and other alleged crimes of Catalan directors. Many of those information were false, the victims of that campaign filed complaints in the courts but were filed.
The conversation between Villarejo and the president of the Catalan PP lasted for almost an hour and concluded with a collaboration commitment between them.
Sánchez Camacho. How can I help you more?
Villarejo. Everything that is to find out about some operation in which you have paid pelas of some account outside abroad, any nuclear and precise information, I have the way to get the information of that account later.
The president of the Catalan PP provided in that meeting to Villarejo the telephone numbers of the main independence leaders.
CiU won the 2012 elections, but lost 12 seats, which left this formation in the hands of ERC to ensure the government and continue its sovereign plan. “The Operation Catalonia of Villarejo managed to alter the result of the Catalan elections of November 25, 2012,” the Catalan independence leaders now highlight.
