Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has been mentioned in a report by the Spanish Civil Guard in connection to the “Democratic Tsunami” app, which instructs Catalonia citizens on coordinating protests against the Spanish government.

The National Court is now handling the case, accusing advocates and activists associated with the app of terrorism.

As per Vozpopuli, the report indicates the artistic director’s ties to the app platform, where he collaborated on a video promoting rebellion in Catalonia against the state.

Judge Garcia Castellon is probing the potential link between the “Democratic Tsunami” movement and terrorism charges in Catalonia.

The report notes that the campaign gained momentum with significant media support from political and civil sectors favoring independence. Guardiola is cited as part of these sectors, contributing his voice to the movement and urging Catalonia to rebel against the rule of law.

Furthermore, the report emphasizes Guardiola‘s increasing presence in events supporting self-determination and secession from the Spanish state, solidifying his role as one of the leading figures in the international independence process.
