Minister's Concerns About Lack of Information

In a critical letter addressed to the Director General of the National Police, Francisco Pardo Piqueras, Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska expressed his dissatisfaction regarding the absence of communication concerning a report that allegedly details the involvement of Moroccan agents in the orchestrated mass entry into Ceuta. The letter, revealed by Cadena SER, opens with an assertion that the General Commissariat of Immigration and Borders informed Magistrate María Tardón that the so-called 'invasion' of Ceuta was allegedly guided by Moroccan gendarmes acting under the orders of undercover agents with motives beyond mere migration.

Grande-Marlaska's letter, sent in the early hours of September 2nd, highlights his frustration over not being kept informed about such crucial intelligence. He emphasizes the importance of this information for him to fulfill his responsibilities as the Interior Minister and for the government to make informed decisions regarding the ongoing migration crisis in Ceuta. The Minister insists that the National Police must promptly share essential information with him to ensure effective governance of both domestic and foreign policy, as well as state defense.

Call for Immediate Reporting and Accountability

In his correspondence, the Minister made it clear that he is unhappy about being kept in the dark regarding the report's content, which he believes should have been immediately communicated to members of the National Security Council. Sources within the police confirmed to Cadena SER that the report submitted to Magistrate Tardón had seen very limited circulation, with even the Deputy Operational Director, the chief of police, being unaware of its details. This report, which parallels the investigation into former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero by the UDEF, reached the court directly without the Minister's knowledge.

Grande-Marlaska reiterated to the National Police Director that judicial proceedings should not hinder the security forces from promptly informing the Interior Minister, who is responsible for overseeing internal security. His letter concludes with a request for the Police Chief to provide him with accurate information regarding the published allegations at the earliest opportunity, as well as any subsequent information that may arise on this matter.
