• Catalonia Puigdemont calls to reactivate the confrontation with the State before the Diada

The

Kremlin on

Tuesday denied the alleged contacts between the Russian intelligence services and the environment of the former president of the Generalitat

Carles Puigdemont

, also pointing out that any involvement of Moscow with the independence movement "is nothing more than a lie."

The office of the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, has thus come out for the first time in the wake of the information published by 'The New Tork Times' and that account for alleged contacts of Puigdemont collaborators, including Josep Lluís Alay,

with officials and former Russian Intelligence agents.

The letter

does not clarify what kind of help the Kremlin gave to the independence movement

or if it provided any support, but it points out that after Alay's trips to Moscow, which took place in 2019, the Tsunami Democràtic protest platform emerged.

"We have no record of these contacts, we do not know to what extent these publications are reliable," said Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov, in statements to the media collected by the official Sputnik news agency.

He also wanted to

"categorically" deny a possible Moscow involvement

"in the events in Catalonia."

"It is nothing more than a lie or innuendo," said Putin's main spokesman.

Similarly, the

PSC-Units group

has asked the head of the Puigdemont office, Josep Lluís Alay, to appear in Parliament to

give explanations about these alleged contacts

.

This is stated in the request to appear that the Socialists registered yesterday Monday in the Catalan chamber and to which Efe has had access.

Specifically,

Alay is required to give an account of the aforementioned contacts

to the Foreign Action, Transparency and Cooperation Commission regarding his contacts with "representatives of the Russian government and the secret services" of the country.
