Audio Reveals Political Pressure on Civil Guard Against Ayuso

Audio Exposes Political Plot Against Ayuso Within the Civil Guard

On July 17, 2026, journalist Ketty Garat published a recording in ABC that has shaken the foundations of the Guardia Civil (Spain's national police). In it, Lieutenant General Francisco del Castillo pressures General Fernando Sarracena to boycott Madrid Community events for Dos de Mayo (Madrid Day) to hinder Isabel Díaz Ayuso. The conversation includes insults and threats: "You will eat my dick," "I shit on your ing mother," "I won't slap you twice because I don't have you in front of me." But what matters is not the vulgar language, but the evidence that the Government used the armed institute's chain of command for partisan ends.

The Boycott Order and General Sarracena’s Resistance

The audio, recorded by General Sarracena himself, dates from May 2, 2025. According to the account extracted from the thread, Lieutenant General del Castillo received instructions from the Operational Deputy Directorate (DAO) for the Guardia Civil not to attend events organized by the Madrid president. Sarracena refused to comply without a written order, unleashing his superior's fury. "He cursed his ing mother," summarizes a participant. Sarracena's refusal forced the withdrawal of the order, as he knew that if formalized in writing, the leak would be immediate. A gesture that cost him his job: in March 2026, Sarracena was dismissed.

Panic in Administration: Verbal Orders Increase

This case is not isolated. According to information from July 17, 2026, senior officials of the General State Administration have detected an increase in verbal orders "to leave no trace." Document traceability has intensified to avoid manipulation and know who sends them. The pattern recalls other alleged interferences: the ousted Prosecutor General of the State, officials sanctioned in the brother-in-law case... The list grows.

A Media Silence That Demands Answers

Despite the gravity of the facts—a high-ranking military officer threatening and insulting a subordinate for resisting a political order—the echo in major media has been scarce. "What matters in this country is football," one comment ironized. Others point out that PSOE has normalized so many scandals that one more seems insignificant. Meanwhile, Fernando Sarracena's career is described by defenders as that of "one of the few Spaniards left." The question remains: how far will the investigation go if those investigating are part of the plot?
