The confrontation between the Civil Guard and the Spanish Government has had a new chapter on Thursday, with a series of questions. The Coordination Center for Health Alerts and Emergencies in Spain is now in the objective of the Point of View: According to a new report drafted by the Civil Guard, this centre has not provided all the information on the demonstration on 8 March, so the police forces say that "key documents may be missing" for the investigation.

This is the second report by the Civil Guard on 8 March, which has been forwarded by the EFE agency. This document has been submitted to the owner of the Court of Instruction No. 51 of Madrid, Carmen Rodríguez-Medel, as an extension of the first report. The "manifest errors" of the previous one have been corrected, as the WHO placed the declaration of pandemic on 30 January and not 11 March, three days after the M8.

The new document, more than 200 pages long, also includes a recording of "off the record" made to Spain's Minister of Equality, Irene Montero. In another passage, the researchers consider that the Coordination Center for Health Alerts and Emergencies did not provide all information on the pandemic before March 8.

Impeachment that enraged the Spanish "deep state"

In the previous report, key to the enmity of the Spanish Government and the Civil Guard, the Civil Guard accused the delegate of the Spanish Government in Madrid, José Luis Franco, of hiding information, and has ensured that Judge Carmen Rodríguez-Medel, closely linked to the Civil Guard, could cite him as an indictee.

Spokesman for the Health Emergency Coordination Center, Fernando Simón, has not been touched so far by Rodríguez-Medel, although the Civil Guard has rejected it in a second report. The report highlights, inter alia, the delays in the delivery of the information requested by Simon.

The new document has soon been leaked to the press, as has the previous one. And in view of the conclusions of the first report, which was discontinued by the Spanish Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, the head of the Madrid Command, Diego Pérez de los Cobos, some have seen behind the new document the order of the Civil Guard to the Spanish Government.
