As has been reported The National.cat, the Mossos d'Esquadra They have activated an escort operation this week to protect the mayor of Ripoll and leader of Aliança Catalana., Silvia Orriols. The decision was taken following an increase in risk caused by her latest statements on Islam and the Prophet Muhammad in the Parliament of Catalonia. The authorities have considered that the threats—coming from Islamist circles—are serious enough to require an immediate response..

Telling the truth about Islam has consequences.

Orriols, known for bluntly denouncing the danger posed by Islamism in Catalonia, had until now refused any police protection, despite the constant intimidation she received. But after speaking openly in the parliamentary chamber about the influence of Islam, the reactions were so virulent that the Mossos had no choice but to intervene.

In Islamic circles it has been seen as a serious offence that he said to Parliament that “While the rest censure those who defend Western values and civil laws, I censure those who venerate and justify a prophet who, 1,400 years ago, was raping girls.” Furthermore, addressing the President of the Generalitat, he asked «If you prefer a girl's freedom with her hair blowing free, or covered from head to toe so that perverts don't feel provoked.». These kinds of statements have circulated widely on social media and have created a climate of tension that has forced the activation of the highest alert level for the risk of an attack.

The Mossos detect a real risk

The police report, according to ElNacional.cat, highlights that Orriols's statements about Islam have gone viral within the Islamic community. The impact was enough to set off all the alarm bells at the General Information Commissioner's Office.

In the face of this level of tension, the Mossos have activated protective measures at their residence and also provided escorts for their official movements. No attack has occurred yet, but the situation is of’Maximum alert.

Orriols speaks, the rest remain silent.

Unlike most political leaders, who prefer to dodge any criticism of Islam for fear of reprisals or accusations of racism, Orriols has broken the silence. And the reaction has been scathing. We are at a point where The defenders of the Western model must live under surveillance., while fundamentalisms advance with total impunity.

Orriols's firm opposition to turning Catalonia into a «Caliphate» and his desire to defend a free, Western and secure nation have been seen as a provocation by these sectors. The leader of Aliança Catalana has not minced her words, and has been one of the few political voices to dare point out the danger posed by the growth of Islamism in Catalonia.

In Catalonia, the threat is real. In early March 2024The National Police dismantled a jihadist cell formed by Pakistani residents in Barcelona. Its objective was to behead people who had made critical comments about Islam and the Prophet Muhammad. They had contacts with extremist groups in Pakistan and followed the directives of organisations such as Tehreek-e-Labbaik, a radical Islamist movement that considers any criticism of the Prophet an offence punishable by death.

Other politicians with an escort because of Islam

The case of Silvia Orriols is no exception. In Europe, several politicians live under permanent protection for having dared to criticise Islam. The most emblematic case is that of Geert Wilders, leader of the Party for Freedom in the Netherlands. Wilders has Almost two decades under permanent police surveillance. He has received all kinds of death threats for his statements against Islam and for defending freedom of expression in the face of religious fundamentalism. Not even a month ago, it emerged that A Pakistani doctor offered €50,000 to anyone who beheaded him..

Orriols is now following a similar path. because when a politician points out the problem, the state offers him a security detail, but no solutions. In Catalonia, as in the Netherlands and around the world, the message is clear: Anyone who questions Islam must live under surveillance.
