Yesterday, when the Catalan CIS confirmed the demographic boom of Alianza Catalana at the expense of Juntes, director Mossos de EscodraJosep Luis Trapero announced that the Legion would follow in the footsteps of Irtzaintza and provide details on the origin of the detainees … In the crime report scheduled to be published next January, which could be repeated every semester.
This announcement was made during the press conference to explain the achievements of Kanpai’s plan against her Multiple oud. Six months after its deployment in Catalonia, it resulted in the arrest of 470 detainees, who collected more than 4,000 criminal records. No information has been provided about their origin, that is, whether they are citizens or foreigners, which is why Trapero specified that it will be at the beginning of next year when the report on police activity will present the data, broken down by criminal classification.
Thus, the police director noted that in the criminal field, “the foreign concept,” without going further, “does not say much.” “We also do not ask why there is a majority of men (among the detainees); He concluded by saying: “It is not a topic for discussion.” The truth is that the general mandate with this decision follows in the footsteps of the Basque government, which decided a few days ago Revealing the origin of criminalsWithout specifying the country of origin (European origin, Maghreb origin). In the case of Catalonia, they have not yet clarified whether they will limit themselves to simply indicating whether the detainee is a “national” or a “foreigner.” Yes they will make one The relationship between the aforementioned origin and the criminal classification For which he was arrested. For example, yesterday, regarding the profile of several repeat offenders, they indicated that among them, the majority, are people with “little roots”, as well as “little integration”, which indicates a possible foreign origin.
A few days ago, ABC approached the Interior Ministry to ask the same question: whether, following the Basque government’s decision to provide details on the origin of detainees, the regional executive was considering following suit. In this regard, the Interior referred the case to the Catalan Police itself – despite it being a political decision – and the Corps explained to this newspaper that “the communication standards of Mossos are based on the Code of Ethics of the College of Journalists of Catalonia, where It is recommended not to provide the nationality of victims and perpetratorsAs long as it is not relevant information to understand the news.
Along these lines, the Catalan police stated that nationality is only published in cases such as, for example, the case of a Dominican woman who is tricked into coming to Spain and ends up being forced into prostitution; Or a Portuguese criminal group entered the country to kidnap national businessmen, and once the crime was committed and the ransom collected, they returned to Portugal to hide. They pointed out that “in these cases, nationality must be clarified to understand the news.”
They also mentioned, as the Catalan Interior Minister, Nuria Barlon, defended yesterday at the same press conference, that to find out whether the arrests are of citizens or foreigners, the data can be requested through the public information access system. The truth is that despite initial reluctance to prevent these numbers from being used at the political level to fuel insecurity as an electoral weapon, linking… Immigration with crimeThe government finally decided to follow the lead of the Basque Security Department and announce, without having to ask it in advance – as is now necessary – the origin of the detainees.
In any case, the decision to publish the origin of the detainees coincides with the significant increase expected by opinion polls Alliance in the next parliament. The General Government’s Center for Opinion Studies (CEO), the Catalan CIS, has released its final measure of the year. The Sílvia Orriols will draw with the Junts. A real political earthquake in Catalonia if the opinion polls confirm this, an omen.
Without an alternative majority
The Orioles will be tied at 19-20 for the bench with Carles Puigdemont. Alianza won two seats in the 2024 elections. It will rise between 17 or 18 seats if regional elections are held today. The previous CEO poll gave between eight and ten seats to Alianca. Junts will lose 15 or 16 deputies, remaining at the same 19-20, and the ERC will gain two or three seats, reaching 22-23 deputies.
Thus, Orioles will be one step away from challenging the leadership in the separatist movement and, moreover, becoming leader of the opposition in the Catalan Chamber, only behind Salvador Illa, President of the General State, who, according to the CEO, will suffer a loss of confidence of the Catalans when it comes to voting for him. He will lose between two and four deputies, and the number of seats in the Political and Social Council will increase from 42 to 38-40 seats.
Behind them will be the Vox party, which will win two or three seats, with Ignacio Garriga at its head, reaching 13-14 seats. It will overtake Alejandro Fernández’s People’s Party, which, for the first time, will be replaced by Vox in Parliament in an electoral projection. The number of famous people will range from 15 to 12-13. As for the communes and the CUP, the prospects for change are slim. Jessica Albiach’s seat will remain in the current six seats, and the anti-capitalists may lose one seat or keep four.
By this estimate (whose fieldwork was carried out between October 13 and November 11, a period that includes Gontz’s break with the Socialist Workers’ Party), Illa would lose the majority (66-69) but the independents would not add (63-67).
