Trapero Moves to Rewrite Mossos Infiltration Rules After Teachers' Assembly Outcry

The shift signals a bid to rebuild trust by updating outdated steps for police intelligence work at social protests.

Overview

  • Trapero, who met police unions Friday with chief Miquel Esquius and Carlos Hernández, said the guidance on undercover work is outdated and will change.
  • Interior confirmed an internal administrative review is under way to trace the orders the two officers received at the Barcelona teachers' assembly.
  • Union leaders said the agents followed orders within the law and urged that the confidential 'reserved' inquiry not target frontline ranks.
  • After apologies in Parliament midweek, leaders called the maneuver poorly conceived yet said there was no bad faith or political meddling.
  • Pressure now extends to the courts, with the CGT union filing a case and a lawyers' group submitting a complaint linked to the episode.
