Regarding the declassification of documents.

Regarding the declassification of the documents mentioned today in various media, I would like to give my opinion... and more so after seven years of assisting victims of these attacks, reaching more than 270. And with sufficient resources we could have done it for many more who appear in the summary, but the Data Protection Law prevents it.

To begin with, I must say that I do not understand those who say that declassification is bad news for those who defend the conspiracy theory. Let's be serious. When suspicions are raised about the work carried out by the Imam of Ripoll Abdelbakky Es-Satty, who was the key player in the commission of the August 2017 attacks in Catalonia, no type of conspiracy theory is being presented. What is being done is to demand answers to a series of questions that can be asked by anyone who has read (or better yet, studied and reviewed) the 68,000 pages of the summary. Reading only the 1,018 pages of the sentence would provide a small part of the investigation. And this demand for answers is being made based on what the court itself states on page 992 of the sentence, where it can be read that:

 

“In the present summary, the victims, notwithstanding the protection they deserve in light of the aforementioned Law 29/2011, have been the GREATLY FORGOTTEN during the investigation, which, within the limited procedural margins that the court has under the LECrim, has been attempted to alleviate by recognizing their LEGITIMATION to appear and exercise criminal and civil actions, thus granting at least their right to the truth and the right to be considered “victims of terrorism” for all the purposes included in the aforementioned Law 29/2011”… “the victims deserve recognition of this status which entails, in addition to financial compensation through administrative means, THE EVEN MORE ESSENTIAL RIGHT TO HISTORICAL MEMORY. THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW THE TRUTH”. (Capital letters are my own.)

We could also talk about the chronology of events.

We could talk about who had responsibilities at that time in relation to national security.

We could talk about who was the genius who decided that the drug trafficking prisoner Abdelbakky Es-Satty could not be radicalized or in the process of radicalization.

We could talk about the political, police and administrative representatives who refused to appear before the Commission of Inquiry presented to the Parliament of Catalonia.

We could talk about whether someone has lied in parliament during their appearance before the Commission of Inquiry of the Congress of Deputies.

And we will do so in parliament if someone asks us.

But what we have to talk about is the assistance that the victims have received. We have to talk about the “official” versions presented by organizations on which the security of citizens depends. We need to talk about how many resources were allocated to anti-terrorist surveillance while other large amounts were allocated to issues that raise serious doubts about their legality. We need to talk about what is happening to the victims since December 13, 2024.

And all this is not a conspiracy. It is simply the “RIGHT TO KNOW THE TRUTH”. It is simply the RIGHT of the victims (after all, they are citizens of more than 30 different countries) TO KNOW THE TRUTH.

For anyone who is really interested in the subject, I recommend that they read the sentence in which the State was condemned for “poor functioning” for its attitude in the attack against Hipercor. Perhaps there is a lot of material there that very few people have thought about. Anyone who wishes can contact me.

I am finishing. Apart from the excellent colleagues of the Association 11-M Affected by Terrorism, does any other association, entity, platform “of” victims have something to say? Can they explain what they have done for “the” victims of the attacks of August 2017?
