CNT members declared that the prosecution sought to criminalize their organization: It was evident that the police weren't looking for anything nor anyone– they already had the culprits– it was just about intimidating the cenetistsa and scaring away from the organization thousands of affiliate workers that, although they identified with the syndical line of the anarcho-syndicalists, they weren't determined to go a long way in their support, let alone to defy such police repression.
Os cenetistas mantiveron que se buscou criminalizar a organización: Resultaba evidente que a policía non buscaba nada nin a ninguén —xa tiñan os culpables— tratábase simplemente de amedrentar os cenetistas e de facer marchar da organización miles de traballadores afiliados que, se ben se identificaban coa liña sindical dos anarconsindicalistas, non estaban dispostos a chegar demasiado lonxe na súa adhesión, nin moito menos a desafiar unha represión policial daquela envergadura.
