CNI director Félix Sanz Roldán asked to appear before the official secrets committee in Congress to clarify the matter but the presence of ERC & PDeCAT was considered "dangerous" and, as a result, the hearing was "decaffeinated". No details.

#Spanish nationalist stupidity
Within days of the attacks El Periódico editor Enric Hernàndez published a "nota" - a supposed warning from CIA to Mossos full of mistakes. Ultimately, Hernàndez was sacked, but his forgery for the Fatherland landed him the TVE director's role.🎖️

Victims of terrorism are often nauseatingly used as political footballs in #Spain. Some even become politicians.

The Barcelona & Cambrils victims - the 14 dead and 140 casualties from 35 different countries - deserve some respect too: to know the truth.
