At the time the impression was fostered that the insurrection of 24 January was a spontaneous outburst of rage on the part of the pieds noirs against the removal of their beloved Massu. It was, in fact, nothing of the sort, but a deliberately and long-prepared coup-de-main for which the bombe Massu was only a pretext; in any event, as Ortiz repeatedly made plain to his associates, he had little confidence in Massu himself as being a man who would go as far as he, Ortiz, wanted.

QUESTION: What exactly were Ortiz's aims and how far did he want to push beyond Massu's plans?
