Enric Auquer, protagonist of 'Cronos', on the 17A attacks: "In the Mossos there are agents who believe in an ethical police force and know how to do their job"

Enric Auquer, protagonist of the series 'Cronos', spoke about the Mossos d'Esquadra in the context of the August 17 attacks. The actor explained that he has always had the Mossos as opposition, especially during demonstrations, and pointed out criticisms of the Catalan police force.

Among the criticisms mentioned by Auquer are the way the force handles internal accountability, the disproportionate use of force by the Brimo to repress legitimate demonstrations, such as those against evictions or antifascist protests, and what he considers differentiated treatment towards fascism.

However, the actor acknowledged that within the Mossos d'Esquadra there are many agents who believe in an ethical and democratic police force, and that there are professionals who know how to do their job and strive to do it correctly.

The article arises in relation to the terrorist attacks of August 17, 2017 in Barcelona and Cambrils, which had the Mossos d'Esquadra as the main police force involved in the response to the attacks.
