The Council of Ministers will approve this Tuesday the declassification of new reports from the Intelligence services on the mass entry of migrant people into Ceuta on 30 July of the past. In this way, the Government complies with the request of the judge of the National Court María Tardón, who had requested to lift the secrecy of the documentation in the framework of the judicial investigation into those events.
Among the documents demanded by the National Court are notes of the CNI on the actions of the Moroccan authorities and a list of the public officials who received those communications, with the corresponding dates and times. The judge wants to have that information in order to reconstruct how the information circulated before the mass entry.
The documentation also includes a note sent by the Spanish Intelligence service to the Directorate General for Surveillance of the Territory of Morocco (DGST).
This declassification expands that approved in September, when the Executive made public 40 documents and communications from the CNI, the Intelligence Center of the Armed Forces (CIFAS), the National Police and the Civil Guard related to the events of 30 and 31 July.
Statements by members of the Intelligence service
The declassification also affects the possibility for three CNI members to testify as witnesses in the case. Cadena SER reported that the Executive plans to authorize those appearances so that the investigation can clarify the content and the course of the communications issued by the service.
For its part, the Ministry of Defence will propose lifting the classification of a report from the CIFAS dated 4 August. The documentation of this military body forms part of the materials that the judge wants to examine in order to complete the reconstruction of events.
