## Pressure Mounts Over Infiltration Scandal

The parliamentary group *Els Comuns* is intensifying pressure on Núria Parlon, Minister of Interior of the Generalitat, to dismiss Carles Hernández, head of the Mossos d'Esquadra’s General Information Commissariat. This follows revelations that two Mossos agents infiltrated a teachers’ assembly preparing for protest mobilisations. The move has sparked backlash over civil liberties, with *Els Comuns* arguing it undermines fundamental rights to association and peaceful assembly.

## Resolution to Be Voted in Parliament

As confirmed by sources from [Nació Digital](https://naciodigital.cat/politica/els-comuns-intensifiquen-la-pressio-a-parlon-perque-destitueixi-el-cap-dinformacio-dels-mossos.html?ref=barna.news), the party will present a resolution during the ongoing general policy debate in the Catalan Parliament, which began on Tuesday 29 September 2026\. The resolution demands Hernández’s dismissal, citing his failure to issue adequate directives preventing the unauthorised presence of officers at the meeting. It also calls for an end to police infiltrations without judicial oversight.

> To guarantee these fundamental rights, the head of the General Information Commissariat must be dismissed for not having given adequate directives.

The vote on the proposal is scheduled for Thursday.

## Minister Apologises, But Not Hernández

While Parlon apologised for the incident amid opposition criticism, Hernández defended the operation and has not expressed regret. His stance contrasts with the minister’s, deepening tensions within the department. Parlon has taken no action to remove him so far, despite the political fallout following the earlier departure of former director general Josep Lluís Trapero.

## Broader Criticism of Protest Policing

*Els Comuns* have framed the issue as part of a wider pattern in which the government enforces citizen security laws more harshly against housing rights protesters than against property speculators. In the first five months of 2026, Mossos filed 338 complaints against individuals involved in actions to prevent evictions, according to Nació Digital’s reporting. In contrast, only 12 sanctions were issued against speculators violating housing regulations. The party is calling for “respectful criteria” in law enforcement to protect the right to peaceful protest and ensure balanced application of the law.

### What Happens Next?

The resolution will be debated and voted on during the parliamentary session this week. While most proposals from ruling and allied parties were approved in recent debates, such as those on housing and language policy [reported by the Parliament’s official site](https://www.parlament.cat/web/actualitat/noticies/index.html?p%5Fid=306319177&ref=barna.news), Hernández’s future remains uncertain. Residents and civil society groups are watching closely as the debate unfolds, with implications for police accountability and protest rights across Catalonia.
