As detailed to EL ESPAÑOL by national police commanders aware of today’s deploymentthe Advance Group, dedicated to planning this type of visit, has not detected any ambush in preparation.
Sánchez had to leave the Valencian municipality shortly after his arrival due to the throwing of mud and objects by citizens, outraged by the delay in the arrival of help. Already that day, the president of the government blamed the altercations on “the extreme right”. That same Tuesday, he again insisted on this idea.
“If we look at the images of last Sunday’s visit, it is very easy to differentiate those who express their anger from a legitimate wayfor his frustrationbecause of the situation they are experiencing, other ultra perfectly organized groups that they were going to try to cause as much damage as possible to the authorities who were present there,” Sánchez said after yesterday’s Council of Ministers.
The Advance Group is a police unit that, in relevant and potentially risky acts, anticipates the visit of the authorities. In this case, they also performed an analysis. After the check, no radical or far-right elements were observed in Paiporta, nor any organized movement, contrary to what the Executive emphasizes these days. The proof is that no part was given in this sense.
During events in which the royal family participates, Civil Guard agents are also responsible for intelligence as well as the control and maintenance of public order. These agents do not They warned against the existence of ultra groups or the presence of radicals organized.
The information the president’s security team had was that residents would be working in the city, cleaning the streets after the devastating and deadly DANA raid, sources close to the operation now say. And they add: “There were only people from the city who were caught working during the visit”.
PSOE report
The PSOE insisted on the thesis of an organized revolt and even released an anonymous report, without signature, in which the incidents experienced in the Valencian city are linked to far-right groups.
This strategy is consistent with the argument of Moncloa, which attributes what happened on Sunday to this type of ultra-violence.
In the report to which this newspaper had access, it is stated that what happened in Paiporta “This is not the only cause of social unrest, nor of the weariness of neighbors and volunteers”. “It is the work of far-right and ultra-right groups who mobilized their apparatus to attempt to destroy a legitimately elected government using instruments that deviate from the framework of legality,” he adds.
Police and local sources assure EL ESPAÑOL that practically all the demonstrators were residents of the municipality.
That Sunday, neighbors and volunteers worked early on the cleanup work. Shortly before noon, their work was hampered by the passage of the official delegation.
Paiporta was then taken over by security forces, which angered some present who saw their work hampered and who were nervous because of the delay in the arrival of help.
A few minutes after the arrival of Sánchez, Mazón and the Kings, tension rose to its peak and the president had to leave the city. He barely spent 35 minutes in Paiporta, according to the police sources consulted.
Amid cries of “out, out,” hundreds of local residents began throwing mud at the procession, which reached the kings and the rest of the authorities.
“Nothing orchestrated”
At one point, sticks were thrown near the area where President Sánchez was, with the aim of hitting him.
Felipe VI and Letizia stopped and listened to the complaints of the city’s residents. Many of them were very unhappy. Mazón stayed with them.
Some of the young people who appear in the images of that day were reported by the PSOE in its reports. One of them, Luis, later took to social media to deny accusations that he belonged to ultra groups: “I’m not the one wearing the sweatshirt. I’m the one next door.”“. His video went viral.
The young man took advantage of the King’s presence to express his unease at the lack of resources to deal with the catastrophic situation. “Nothing This was orchestrated or organized. I read that it was precisely me and the two other people standing next to me who planned the conversation with King Felipe. He was The King came to speak to us directly because we were right next to him at the time,” he says in the video.
Ihas The Civil Guard is working these days to identify the people who provoked the altercations and will report on the investigations when it has collected all the data.
