On the unconstitutional eve of another momentous anniversary, it must be remembered once again that the last police officer of the Franco dictatorship was the first of the democratic era. There's no need to look for examples; they all are; and all of them mean one; and this includes everyone from the first to the last. Unfortunately, the same logic applies to the murky figure of the police infiltrator driven by state-sanctioned psychosis: the last one still serving under the dictatorship—for example, Mikel Lejarza.Wolf—he was also the first mole of democracy. And so on in so many orders of disorder, with the unfortunate providence that in the case of infiltrators in two seemingly distinct stages—dictatorship and dictatorship—they share a common trait, a trait that is a blessing to any possibility of democracy: the same state impunity. Under both regimes, at such different times, it turns out that they are planned and orchestrated systematically in the same way and from the depths of depravity: in the most absolute and shadowy illegality. Following journalistic investigations by The DirectIt will soon be a year since the documentary Infiltrators broadcast in 30 minutes It awakened us from that opaque figure, unregulated everywhere, calledintelligence agentQuite different from an undercover agent acting under judicial mandate and monitoring, legally permitted under certain circumstances. But the supposed democracy, in that blind spot, draws on a vein of true dictatorship: in the name of the law but always outside of it, without any kind of control, only at the gray whim of the food chain of repression and under the same order: the bottomless pit of national security.

Daniel Campos (Madrid, 43 years old), journalist and between 2020 and 2023 director of communications at the Ministry of the Interior, reveals in Lavapiés Guerrilla (Peninsula, 2025) The infiltration of a national police officer (recently recruited) into the anti-globalization movement in Madrid, with its epicenter in the central neighborhood of Lavapiés. It's the early 2000s, and the leadership and dialectical skills of a young man with a ponytail: Pablo Iglesias, stand out.

Another case of police infiltration in social and political movements in the Catalan Countries, and this makes six. The latest research of The Direct, published this Tuesday, reveals that a National Police agent spent just over two years infiltrated activism in Lleida, around the pro-independence left. Under the false identity of Joan Llobet Garcia, and graduating from the Ávila Police School just a year before starting the espionage operation, the agent landed in the capital of Segrià in September 2019 and left in November 2021. During this time he was actively involved in the SANT protests against the Proceso sentence (2019) and those in support of the Lleida rapper Pablo Hasél.

New case of infiltration in Catalan social and political movements. A 26-year-old National Police officer spent more than two years infiltrating the movement for Palestine and the pro-independence left, according to published this Wednesday The Direct and have denounced the affected groups in a joint press conference this morning. Under the name of Belén Hammad Gómez, the agent used the Palestinian Community of Catalonia as a gateway to activism and then approached the Casal Popular 3 Voltes Rebel, in the Nou Barris district of Barcelona, ​​​​and the left-wing independentist organization Endavant. From these spaces, in the fall of 2019 he actively participated in the mobilizations against the sentence of the Process, including the protests in Plaza Urquinaona.

The Catalan Countries Student Union (SEPC) and Alerta Solidària have informed this morning that they have expelled a young man from various pro-independence taskforces and online groups, as well as housing rights campaigns, after verifying that he was an infiltrated Spanish police officer. The case, which was broken this morning the biweekly Directa, was explained this morning at a press conference in front of the University of Barcelona's historic building. Spokespeople of both organisations have explained that, after weeks of investigations, they had been able to verify that the man had been using a false identity for two years to infiltrate these circles and obtain "valuable" information. They denounce that this is a new case of "ideological political persecution", another "consequence of the State's repression".
