The Parliament of Catalonia has agreed to summon Interior Minister Núria Parlon, Mossos d'Esquadra chief Major Josep Lluís Trapero and other senior officials from the regional police force to appear before its inquiry into police infiltration. The commission is examining the infiltration of state security officers into social, political and grassroots movements, as well as alleged spyware use, according to parliamentary records.

For residents, activists and civic groups in Catalonia, the decision matters because it brings senior policing and government figures into a formal public process at the parliament, where members can request explanations on oversight, responsibility and the handling of undercover operations. The Mossos d'Esquadra are Catalonia's regional police force.

Who has been called to appear before the inquiry

The summons were made within the Parliament's Commission of Inquiry on the Infiltration of Police Officers of the State Security Forces into Social, Political and Popular Movements in the Catalan Countries and on Espionage with Spyware by the Kingdom of Spain, known by its Catalan initials as CIIPCEM.

  • Núria Parlon, Catalonia's interior minister
  • Major Josep Lluís Trapero, senior Mossos commander
  • Other members of the Mossos leadership, according to the commission's decisions and session records

The commission was created by parliamentary decree and its remit, membership and session information are published by the Parlament de Catalunya. Readers can also review our Editorial Policy for how we handle official records and contested claims.

Xavier Pellicer, the commission president, called for the resignation of the interior minister and the director general of the Mossos, according to the reported proceedings.

What the parliamentary records show

The decision is recorded in official parliamentary documentation, including session diaries, transcripts and commission materials published by the Parliament of Catalonia. Those records set out the inquiry's mandate and the appearances requested as part of its work.

The inquiry focuses on alleged police infiltration and spyware use. The parliamentary documents describe the investigation's scope, but claims examined by the commission remain part of an ongoing political and institutional process rather than a court ruling.

  • The commission was formally established by parliamentary decree
  • Its sessions and transcripts are published in the Diari de Sessions and related parliamentary files
  • The appearance requests form part of the commission's investigative work

Why this matters locally

For community organisations, campaign groups and residents concerned about policing powers, the hearings may clarify what Catalan authorities knew, what role the Mossos had, and how oversight worked. For public officials, the appearances increase pressure to explain decisions on the record.

The Parliament's inquiry is separate from any criminal court process. Its role is political scrutiny and fact-finding inside the chamber.

What happens next

The next steps depend on the commission's calendar and any confirmations of attendance published by the Parliament of Catalonia. People who want to follow the case can check the commission page and session records on the parliament website, where agendas, transcripts and official documents are posted.
