Moya was dismissed as an advisor to the Provincial Council in July of last year, after audio recordings of a meeting of members of the ERC leadership were made public in which they were devising a strategy to try to cover up the fact that the posters came from the party's B structure. The Republican leadership then led by Marta Rovira – Oriol Junqueras had resigned a month earlier to run for re-election – accused Moya of having leaked "confidential information in a biased manner to the media." The former head of communications defended himself by saying that the dismissal was a way of "silencing" him because he wanted to go to the end to clarify the facts.

The "truth commission" report

In parallel with the party's official investigation, Junqueras also commissioned former MP Joan Tardà to launch the so-called "truth commission," which was to produce a rather "political" report on the events, according to the party leadership. Tardà presented his conclusions during the Martorell congress, where confirmed the existence of a B structure in ERC and apologized to the membership for the poster incident. He extended his apology, without naming him, to Tolo Moya, whom he considered to have been singled out as "responsible and the executor," but who, according to Tardà, had "a certain degree of participation in the B structure." The report drew criticism from members of the two candidates who ran against Junqueras, who considered it a "mockery."
