The Battle of Majorca revealed the inabilities of the CCMA, not only to organize itself, but even to learn of all the military operations that were being carried out from Catalonia. The Majorca operation was organized by the Generalitat (dominated by ERC) in collusion with the PSUC and in which the Barcelona Transport Union of the CNT also participated, on the initiative of the commander Alberto Bayo. The CCMA (which was supposed to command all military operations) learned of the operation when the troops were already embarking from the port of Barcelona.
