identical to ¡Cu-Cut!. That was noticed by Barcelona's governor, who immediately suspended the magazine. Although the assault led to the creation of Solidaritat Catalana, a political coalition in Catalonia, it ignited a feeling of solidarity with the attackers in the rest of Spain. However, President Eugenio Montero Ríos's government decided to punish the attackers in the face of the crisis. King Alfonso XIII's opposition to that measure led to Ríos's resignation. He was succeeded by Segismundo Moret, who suspended the constitutional guarantees in Barcelona and, along with the minister Álvaro de Figueroa y Torres, implemented the Law of Jurisdictions, which favoured the military. Catalanism and Spanish military Relations between the Spanish military and Catalanism were profoundly negative. In May 1905, the pro-Catalan independence journal La Tralla published a special issue commemorating the independence of Cuba for which the journal's director, Josep Maria Folch i Torres, along with three editors, were prosecuted. Authors have claimed that the ¡Cu-Cut! incident marked the return of militarism in Spanish politics after a period of civilian rule. The assault on ¡Cu-Cut!'' certified the return of the military as a lobby group in the political sphere. In that case, it acted against what it considered to be a separatist threat that was being excessively tolerated by the government, according to many officers at the time.
