The CNI, the great affected of a case still without proving

• Congress The Government registers the appearance of the director of the CNI so that she can give explanations as soon as possible for Pegasus

• Legislative Bildu, ERC, Junts and the CUP manage to enter the secrets commission thanks to the change of rules promoted by Batet

There are only a few days left to commemorate the 20th anniversary of his birth.

And the

Center (CNI) will have to celebrate it under the shadow of an unconfirmed suspicion.

The intelligence service is the great victim of the so-called

, of the accusation of the nationalists of having spied on them from outside the law, without judicial control.

“And it is that on top of that we cannot defend ourselves, we cannot speak by law,” they point out from the services.

Despite the insistence of the Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, that the services always act within the framework of the law and under the supervision of a Supreme Court magistrate, the hunt for nationalists and Podemos does not stop.

They want to collect a head from a case that may not even exist.

They are looking for that of Margarita Robles but they do not despise that of the director of the CNI itself,

, who took the reins after

left the intelligence center .

«We are always news for the bad.

And on too many occasions that bad of what they accuse us of is false.

But we have to keep quiet.

Just as we do when our agents obtain key information for the Police and Civil Guard to carry out high-level operations," these sources point out.

They denounce that the work of the CNI has been left “very exposed, little supported”.

Intelligence specialists trust that the imminent appearance of the director of the center in the Congress of Deputies -probably next Tuesday, before the new members of the Secrets Commission, Bildu, ERC, the CUP and Junts included- will shed the light enough for this case to be settled, "because it greatly affects the work spirit of the agents, many of them displaced to very delicate spaces."

«When, in order to comply with the Intelligence Directive, the CNI must carry out activities in which the rights set forth in sections 2 and 3 of article 18 of the Constitution (inviolability of the home and secrecy of communications) may be affected, the secretary of the directing State must request the prior authorization of a control magistrate of the Supreme Court, ”says the CNI itself.

In any case, they have little doubt that, once again, their international prestige may be damaged.

“International relations are extremely sensitive and any ups and downs or public crises have a huge effect.

And it costs a lot to recompose those contacts.

Trust between services is the key for cooperation to work”, point out the aforementioned sources.

The political crisis affecting the CNI also occurs in the middle of a war in Europe where one of the most active fronts is that of counterinformation, where the role of the intelligence services is key.

“The current international moment is extremely delicate”, and they also recall the complex situation in the

to start withdrawing its mission in

The CNI started 20 years ago.

It is one of the youngest intelligence agencies in Europe.

He is the heir to the previous

, which replaced the

.

The new body did not have it easy, since it started under the shadow of the biggest scandal of democracy, the case of illegal wiretapping in the intelligence services of that time.

Telephones of politicians, businessmen and even King Juan Carlos I were tapped. The director of the Cesid, Lieutenant General

, and the then Vice President of the Government,

, had to resign .

"No mass control"

From the National Intelligence Center the use of 'Pegasus' is recognized but its massive use is denied.

The use is "individualized, case by case, and with the supervision of the judicial authority."

They deny a massive investigation like the one denounced by the nationalists or that institutional communications have been intervened, according to various media outlets.
