The Civil Guard says it chases "rumors and fake news" about COVID-19

  • The Civil Guard investigates the "fake rumours and news" spread on social networks in relation to COVID-19, with the aim of reducing "the government's lack of institutional adherence and social stress". The professor of Constitutional Law, Mercé Barceló, has denounced that the work of the Civil Guard is to prosecute crimes, not "social stress". He recalled that giving false news "is not a crime" and that this persecution of civil guards is a restriction of freedom of expression.

Eldiario.es has given the news to the chain and Marcos Pinheiro is the journalist who has worked on it.

General de la Guardia Civil, José Manuel Santiago, sent an email to the Spanish State Commanders on April 15 requesting information on the actions of the Civil Guard in the world of cyber, to prepare a report with all of them. This is one of the information you requested in that email: "Identification, investigation and follow-up of misinformation campaigns, rumours and fake news related to the situation generated by COVID-19." He says that these campaigns, rumours and false news "can lead to a lack of adherence to government institutions and cause social stress."

Santiago on the eve of the publication of these emails: "That the Civil Guard is working to reduce the climate of fighting the government's management of the crisis." Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska attributed this phrase to a "lapsus" attributed to him.

"Giving fake news is not a crime."

Eldiario.es The media has collected the statements of Mercé Barceló. Barceló, professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Barcelona, has denounced that this action by the Civil Guard can harm freedom of expression. He roundly condemns the civil guards pursuing "fake news" on social media because, in his words, "giving false news, false, truthful, or proven facts, is not a crime." The Civil Guard investigates rumours on social media and says it restricts freedom of expression: "You know they'll chase you and you don't know why, you don't know what crimes they're chasing when they're looking for rumors."

The argument put forward by Santiago Apostle is that they seek erroneous information to avoid a "social stress" that is occurring. Barceló says: "The task of the Civil Guard is to prosecute crimes, not to enter into social stress, but to continue to commit crimes. It's not their function, they're not for that. That's what doctors, psychiatrists and psychologists are for."
