"The wiretapping that we are aware of is due to operations initiated by the CNI before we came to power and always had judicial authorization."

  • Spying on actors in the pro-independence world began with the Government of Mariano Rajoy, but the first extension to infect Aragonés's phone occurred with the Executive of

  • The Executive priorities established in the intelligence directive are those that motivate the work of the Center's agents. In addition, periodic meetings are held with the Intelligence Affairs Commission where progress is discussed. Here is a key that EL MUNDO has confirmed. In these meetings it is not specified how the directive is being fulfilled. For security reasons, neither the members of the Government who come ask questions, nor does the CNI detail what they use, whether the data is obtained through informants or the use of any software.

«This information shows that the rule of law now works and acts with transparency. Nothing to do with the parallel police and the dirty war during the PP stage.

  • That the Government uses the Pegasus case to get into political trouble is uncomfortable within the CNI, whose agents feel in a situation of "defencelessness" due to the attacks received and the sowing of suspicion that during Mariano Rajoy's Government

    the

    agents They acted differently. The sources consulted insist that if the intelligence directive changes and Sánchez signs that other priorities have to be approved this year, which has not yet been processed, the CNI will work in that direction, without judging and with loyalty to the Executive.
