The retired commissioner José Manuel Villarejo is in his sauce in the appearances of the congressional investigation commissions. He went for the third time in recent years to expose in this case what he knew about the so-called Operation Catalonia.

Operation Catalonia was mounted by the PP government of Rajoy, with Sáenz de Santamaría in charge, to undermine the independence offensive. The commission agreed to set a deadline until next Friday for the parties to present a new list of requests of up to eight people to appear.
