Just my point of view:
I am convinced that the problem is not to determine whether spanish ATCOs have or not guns pointed at their head. The real issue is that there are in centers and towers people that now have authority over ATCO and at the same time no real knowledge of what is civil air traffic control (no offense to army, I'm just saying that our jobs are significantly different).
Who would accept to work with the pressure of someone who has no competence for the job? What are the consequences regarding safety with this situation? I read on this topic that some operational decisions had been taken away fom ATCO and been given to managers, that's already problematical but now if the manager has no training to take these decisions that's another step!
in a word, I'm not sure that we should be so spitful and say that it's only spanish controllers' fault cause one day we all may have to face that situation
