Ara is a pro-secessionist diary so take their news about the national police in Spain with a pinch of salt.

That’s the Mossos, not the national police of Spain.

Then the title is wrong and should mention that “A Catalan policeman says that…”.

Mossos aren't policemen.

Yeah they are. Their official name is literally "Policia de la Generalitat de Catalunya".

Mossos are the Police of Catalonia modulo borders, counterterrorism and higher duties which are dealt by the Guardia Civil (akin to Gendarmerie).

What are they then? It’s a regional police force.

They are mossos ;-)
