The judge of the National Court Manuel García-Castellón, after reviewing reports from the Civil Guard, maintains that he has found an alleged action by Tsunami Democràtic until now unknown: a plan to “act” during a visit by King Felipe VI to Catalonia during the summer of 2020. The judge’s re-reading of some messages from July of that year leads him to infer that the platform had “in mind” an action when a delegation of the Monarch passed through Barcelona on the occasion of the delivery of the Princess of Girona awards. However, in 2020 the delivery of these awards was postponed due to the coronavirus.
The conversation to which García-Castellón now gives prominence is held by the accused businessman Josep Campmajó and another person under the nickname of Xuxu Rondinaire, whom the judge identifies “with a high probability” with a mosso d’esquadra. In the exchange of messages that until now had gone unnoticed, the alleged mosso details between July 12 and 13 the “standard” security deployment carried out during the trips of the Kings, the use of express routes from the airport or the composition of the mobile procession with the arrangement of the vehicles.
“Explain to me what you want to do and I will tell you if it is worth it or if it is a waste of time like at the Camp Nou,” Xuxu Rondinaire asks Campmajó. “A couple of hours before, they twice made the tour with the entire entourage without the personality,” adds the alleged police officer. For García-Castellón, this conversation “allows us to deduce not only that Tsunami maintained its intention to act in the month of July 2020, but also something even more serious, that among its objectives could be acting in step with the King’s entourage.”
Felipe VI and Queen Letizia visited the monastery of Santa María de Poblet (Tarragona) on July 20, 2020. A week after the conversation that reproduces the Civil Guard report. The Tsunami instructor – who maintains that terrorism crimes could have been committed during the protests over the procés verdict – has ordered the armed institute to delve into more conversations, to identify this Xuxu Rondinaire – beyond their assumptions – and to report the visits of the King on those dates.
But in the order issued yesterday, García-Castellón not only asks to expand the investigation into this “new action.” The instructor orders to investigate other actions to try to delve deeper into his thesis of terrorism. Regarding the mobilizations during the day of reflection for the 2019 general elections – a camping trip in the Plaza Universitat de Barcelona and a concert in Gran Vía – he defends that they should be investigated as terrorism based on article 573 of the Penal Code – which considers such acts aimed at destabilizing. The Prosecutor’s Office has already reported that no complaints or reports were made.
The judge pulls the Urban Police’s ears because in the report he prepared on those concentrations he lacks “graphic and detailed documentation” to know if the concentrations were reported. In the car, he says he feels “surprised” when he read in a newspaper that a scene was set up. “If this is the general rule in Barcelona, ??it is imaginable that anyone can set up a stage on one of the most important roads in the urban center, with the indifference of that police force.” Thus, he asks the Civil Guard to investigate whether there was communication to the Ministry of the Interior or not.
In the same order, he takes the opportunity to reiterate other procedures that he requested two months ago and for which he has not yet received a response, such as those requested from the Emergency Medical Service (SEM) in relation to the death of the French citizen during the blockade of El Prat.
