• Crisis Espionage case: ERC already threatens the approval of the economic decree for the war in Ukraine

ERC deepens and specifies its threat to the Government for the alleged case of espionage against pro-independence leaders.

The formation chaired by

demands resignations from the Executive to support the decree of economic measures for the invasion of Ukraine, which is voted on Thursday in Congress.

If

does not commit to purging those responsible for wiretapping separatists, the Republicans are practically determined to oppose the approval of this crucial legislative measure, which, without their votes, does not have the necessary support to prosper.

“All their initiatives can be endangered,” the ERC spokeswoman said on Monday when asked about a possible rejection by the Republicans of the decree.
