Government disassociates Mossos from expulsion of singers with 'estelades' from the Sagrada Familia

Núria Parlon, the consellera of Interior and Seguridad Pública for the Govern de la Generalitat de Cataluña, has officially distanced the Mossos d’Esquadra from the controversial expulsion of 600 singers carrying separatist 'estelades' flags. The incident occurred in Barcelona in June during a religious blessing at the Sagrada Familia.

The statement addresses the public backlash surrounding the removal of the choral participants, clarifying the regional police force's lack of involvement in the ejection. The event has drawn renewed public attention following the government's formal clarification regarding the security actions taken at the iconic Barcelona landmark.
