The Civil Guard has assured Judge María Tardón, who is investigating the case of the illegal entry of 80,000 people through the Ceuta border on July 30 and 31, that she had no information in the days prior about the “scale” of the wave of migrants looming over the border, and that she does not have data on how many people crossed nor their affiliations.
The report sent to Tardón, to whose content EL MUNDO has had access, fully supports, in a very aseptic manner, the version held so far by the Interior Minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, and by the President of the Government: there were no, the Civil Guard Information maintains, prior data that could have predicted what was coming.
The report makes no mention of any information issued by the National Intelligence Center (CNI), it is limited to answering the five questions issued by Tardón and strikingly contrasts with the one made by the National Police, which contradicts the Government on essential points, indicating that there were prior alerts and pointing to Moroccan agents in the planning and execution of the events.
The Civil Guard, for its part, assures that there was no way to know beforehand what was going to happen, and makes no judgment about the attribution of authorship. That is, it does not accuse anyone of plotting and carrying out the attack.
The document prepared by the Information unit of the Armed Institute is limited to presenting, in five succinct pages, the task of its agents at the El Tarajal border during those hours, limiting itself to the humanitarian action of saving lives once they warned that the volume of migrants crossing by swimming and on foot was uncontrollable.
