Perhaps Pedro Sanchez has managed to "sleep peacefully" despite the nerves caused by his coalition with Podemos . But with its decision, advanced by EL MUNDO, to place Pablo Iglesias in the body that controls the CNI , restlessness has been installed in much of the Government and in areas of the State as sensitive as the domes of the police forces and the army or among the members of the same National Intelligence Center. As we publish today, few in Moncloa and almost no one related to the Security of Spain understands such an arbitrary and imprudent decision of the President of the Government, which also threatens to provoke tensions with the Intelligence bodies of other NATO partner countries and, especially , from the United States. And it rains on wet. Because Washington's distrust has skyrocketed after unexplained movements by the Spanish Executive such as the turn in the bilateral relationship with the Venezuelan dictatorship and the prevailing breach of the sanctions imposed by the EU on Chavez forestry, as seen with the Delcy Rodríguez's trip to Madrid.

The exchange of especially sensitive security, defense, economy or geopolitical data only flows when trust between allied states is full. Sánchez is aware that Podemos not only does not infuse it, but that among our international partners its integration into the Government generates misgivings . That is why the president had to work at the Davos summit to convince his interlocutors that the purple formation was going to be harmless in economic matters. And so also, with the intention of instilling calm, he designed an Executive in which Podemos was left out of all ministries called State , such as Interior, Defense or Economy. That safety belt around Iglesias jumps through the air by putting him in the commission where he accesses the so-called state secrets, which require those who participate in them a discretion, responsibility and height of sight of those who have not given these years show the purple leaders, on the contrary. As intelligence sources point to this newspaper, "it's like putting the fox in the care of chickens."

It must be explained if this step is part of hidden agreements in the negotiation for the coalition. Remember that Iglesias has already demanded to control the CNI in the failed negotiation to invest in Sánchez in 2016. It is not trivial to modify the regulatory Law of this body to cast as a permanent member of the Delegate Commission of the Government for Intelligence Affairs to a vice president who, on The paper only has social skills . That Podemos, which has been lashing out against the actions of the Security forces for years and that has such opaque interests in countries such as Iran or Venezuela, is going to spy on the super- spies of the State invites to tremble.
