Spanish intelligence wanted to destabilize Catalonia prior to independence referendum, says Jose Manuel Villarejo.
The 2017 terror attacks in Spain were orchestrated by the National Intelligence Center (CNI), a former senior police officer said Thursday.
The aim was to destabilize Catalonia before an independence referendum but the outcome that left 16 dead, was a miscalculation, said Jose Manuel Villarejo, according to the Catalanews agency.
Quoting Villarejo’s testimony in court, the news outlet said the attacks, which included a truck plowing those pedestrians on Barcelona’s La Rambla, "were a serious mistake" on the part of former National Intelligence Center (CNI) Director Feliz Sanz Roldan.
Villarejo’s remarks have ignited outrage among portions of Catalan political parties, especially those in favor of the region’s independence.
Catalan President Pere Aragones demanded that the Spanish government again look into the attack and requested his administration’s legal team review the former officer's remarks.
Parliament speaker Laura Borras also requested the region’s assembly legal team take the case to the public prosecutor.

It wouldn’t surprise me.
Makes sense. The attacks in Spanish seemed random. They “were a serious mistake”.” No, they were mortal sins that automatically deserves eternal punishment unless full accountability is performed.
The FBI probably gave them the instruction manual.
