Judge Tardón affirms that the CNI report on Ceuta did not provide anything new and gives the Government 15 days to declassify new documents

Judge María Tardón has agreed to submit a reasoned statement to the Council of Ministers in which she requests the declassification of documents and reports related to the massive irregular entry into Ceuta from Morocco. The judge of the National Court indicates that the Government must act "urgently" and deliver the data "within 15 calendar days."

He does so after stating that the October 14 report sent to him by the National Intelligence Center (CNI) did not provide him with anything that was not known through other means: "There was no information on any point that was not known by other actions already carried out in the case." Furthermore, the documents it contained "appeared censored with the same deletions as those indicated in the publication of the reports and communications disseminated on the Moncloa website."

He highlights that some of the questions he expressly posed "have not been answered in the terms in which they were requested." For example, to whom did the CNI communicate the information it had. The answer was vague and did not allow those people to be identified, which prevented them from being called to testify.

It was also not specified what type of contacts the Center maintained with its Moroccan counterpart and whether it had prepared reports after the two days of massive inflows of immigrants. Reports that the judge would like to consult.

Added to this is that the Defense General Staff has responded to Tardón that the Intelligence report of August 4 with the title "Evolution of the Crisis in Ceuta" was not going to be sent to him "because it was classified as reserved."

Among other documents, the judge requests the CNI notes and reports on what happened on July 30 and 31. In particular, all the classified notes and reports prepared so far relating to the actions of the Moroccan authorities.

In addition, it requests the specific list of authorities that received the notes from the Intelligence Services already declassified, prepared on July 27 and 30 and referred to in the CNI report previously sent to the instructor. Tardón also wants "any other" notes sent subsequently, indicating the date and time of sending. It must be accompanied by certification of its receipt by those authorities.

He believes that the information he demands is "indispensable" for clarifying the facts. "It will make it possible to determine which authorities were aware, and from what moment," of the massive entry call scheduled for July 30. "It will also allow us to know what decisions were or were not taken in view of that information and what the actions of the authorities of the Kingdom of Morocco were," says the judge.

The judge considers that the declassification of this data does not affect the security of the State, which "has actually been violated, precisely, by the events that are being investigated." "The authorship of this attack on the security of the State is what we intend to find out."

Tardón specifies that the fact that the information has been declared secret or reserved "does not constitute an absolute legal obstacle that prevents this judicial body from promoting its declassification when it is necessary for the investigation of allegedly criminal acts."

The resolution notified this Tuesday specifies that all the material that is declassified will be incorporated into the separate piece that is declared secret.
