“He is very concerned”, said the president of the Generalitat, Quim Torra, after knowing that one of those identified in the incident in Ribera de Ebro is a civil guard. “As in the case of the photojournalist Jordi Borrás, some police officers beat the citizens or insult the Catalan deputies and spit on them,” he added.

The President of the Generalitat has asked the Spanish Minister of the Interior, Grande-Marlaska, for explanations. “We cannot allow citizens and MPs to be insulted, attacked and beaten,” the Torah said. He added that the representative of Catalonia in Spain also asked Teresa Cunillera for explanations.

Torra asked Cunillera with the explanations before the incident in Ribera de Ebro to know “what measures he will take to end all this”. Noting that he has not received a response, he announced that he will address the Minister of the Interior, “we want to know what he will do with these positions.”
