• Moncloa The Government will only give explanations about the CNI and the espionage of the independence movement in a commission that has not been constituted for three years

  • Pegasus Outrage in the Government for the alleged espionage of 60 independence leaders such as Aragonès, Puigdemont or Torra

  • The spy world of 'Pegasus' All the messes and the big business of the famous Israeli cyber-intelligence weapon

The president of the Generalitat,

Pere Aragonès

, believes that the Government "could fall" if responsibilities for the alleged espionage of more than 60 leaders, activists and lawyers linked to independence through the 'Pegasus' program are not cleared up.

"In governments in our European environment, a case of these characteristics would perhaps lead to the fall of some members of the government, and if an adequate response is not given, of the government as a whole," he said Thursday in an interview on Channel 24 hours collected by Europa Press.

Aragonès sees "counterproductive as well as insufficient" the statements made by the Defense Minister,

Margarita Robles

, on this issue, and has stressed that the appearance to which the Government refers for explanations was already scheduled for other matters.

In this sense, he has criticized the

"information blackout"

by the Government on the alleged espionage, which he believes should be addressed through a specific investigation that cannot take weeks to find out who commissioned the alleged monitoring, why and who got to know about it. the.

At the moment --he said-- he does not have information to confirm whether or not the Executive was aware of these cases, and when asked if in this situation the independence movement can resume the unilateral route, he replied: "We are absolutely committed, and I speak on behalf of the Government and my party, with a

process of political negotiation

".

However, he has warned that this negotiation requires minimum conditions of trust and that "in a continuous relationship of parliamentary agreements, this is taken into account", with which the ERC's support for government initiatives in the General Courts is in danger .

KREMLIN

Asked about alleged contacts of the independence movement with the

Kremlin

, he has maintained that if there have been "individual actions" those responsible must give the corresponding explanations, while the Government has not sought, seeks or will seek contacts in this environment, in his words.

He has maintained that when people from the Kremlin environment have addressed him, he has not responded:

"We do not give any kind of response, nor do we answer"

, aware of the uselessness of these connections for the independence process to move forward, he has assured.

OLYMPIC GAMES AND PE

Aragonès has reaffirmed the agreement between the

Spanish Olympic Committee (COE)

, the Government and the Generalitat on the

Winter Olympic Games in the Pyrenees

despite Aragon's rejection, which proposes an alternative proposal: "We will see what proposal it has. From our point of view, what has been agreed is agreed and there is no reason to change it".

Asked about the recommendation of the European Parliament that the

ETA

murders do not prescribe, he stressed that "today we can talk about crimes that were in the past because they are not in the present", and that responsibilities must be assumed for the crimes committed.
