For a while, the media have been reporting about some people in the Spanish army in favor of a military intervention in Catalonia, as for example colonel Francisco Alamán's statements. Today recently retired lieutenant general Pedro Pitarch openly admitted that active and retired members of the military forces are working together in order to “encourage the armed forces” to occupy Catalonia.
In an interview published by El Confidencial, the lieutenant general, who has been in the reserve for three years but is still knowledgeable about the current situation in the army, states that “some military personnel are publicly urging to break ranks and go against the legal system” in order to take measures against Catalonia.
Former lieutenant general Pitarch regrets the fact that “nowadays the spirit of the coup d’état of February 23rd 1981 is back to haunt us,” and he adds that “the ill-meaning ideas that encouraged that coup are well alive.”
