The Police have informed the Efe agency that it was a “planned” action
The newspaper El Mundo has explained how was this assassination attempt against Vidal-Quadras: "When he was going to get into his car, a person who was wearing a helmet and was wearing jeans and a blue coat approached him. He shot at close range at number 40 Núñez de Balboa Street, in the Madrid district of Salamanca.The gunman ran out and got on the motorcycle where another person was waiting for him on board the Yamaha Black. Then, they fled in a prohibited direction along Hermosilla Street."
The same newspaper adds the following: "The perpetrators used a nine-millimeter Parabellum pistol. At the moment the motive for the attack is unknown. Police sources have told Efe that the author of the shot is a professional who has executed a "planned" action and who had studied the movements of his target".
An hour earlier, Vidal-Quadras criticized “the infamous pact between Sánchez and Puigdemont”
This afternoon, one hour before the crime, Vidal-Quadras published a message on Twitter criticizing "the infamous pact between Sánchez and Puigdemont that crushes the rule of law in Spain and ends the separation of powers. Our Nation will thus cease to be a liberal democracy to become a totalitarian tyranny. We Spaniards will not allow it."
Ya se ha acordado el infame pacto entre Sánchez y Puigdemont que tritura en España el Estado de Derecho y acaba con la separación de poderes. Nuestra Nación dejará así de ser una democracia liberal para convertirse en una tiranía totalitaria. Los españoles no lo permitiremos.

After learning of the crime, "Calvo Sotelo" has been become a trend on Twitter, a reference to right-wing deputy murdered on July 13, 1936 at the hands of socialist gunmen, months after a amnesty in which the left pardoned those convicted in the 1934 coup, perpetrated by socialists and separatists.
