Spanish military officer threatens an "armed solution" for Catalonia
Spain's Ministry of Defence is expected to open an investigation into an
army reserve officer who wrote an article threatening military
intervention in Catalonia, according to eldiario.es. Lieutenant
colonel Enrique Area Sacristán was the author of an opinion piece
published in the Spanish right-wing digital newpaper Alerta Digital on
the Catalan conflict (link in Spanish), and depending on the officer's
administrative status in the army, he could face a punishment for not
respecting political neutrality.
