Congress Government partners expect Sánchez to announce a reform of the CNI and strengthen its judicial control
The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has tried to get rid of his responsibility in the
Pegasus case
by going back to the "dark period" of "corruption" of the government stage of Mariano Rajoy and has presented his own administration as a model of "honesty" and " transparency" accusing the opposition of focusing on "disqualification" and non-recognition of his legitimacy as head of the Executive.
"With this government", he has said, "there is no room for illegality".
Sánchez has dedicated the first 20 minutes of his appearance in
Congress
to attacking the popular ones, reproaching them for their "destructive opposition" and drawing his government as "incompatible with corruption": "With this government there is no permission to persecute rivals or to bypass the
Constitution
."
He has assured that the fundamental principles of his management are "transparency", "impeccable collaboration with the Justice" and the "strengthening of public services" and against this he has contrasted the entire list of corruptions - "criminal acts", he has saying- of the PP:
Kitchen
,
Gürtel
,

Only after this barrage, the president has bordered the central theme of the appearance ensuring that "confidentiality" should not be confused with "opacity" and in this sense has given as an example the "ex officio" action of
the Ombudsman
to check the performance of the Government in the
Pegasus case
.
Sánchez has placed all responsibility for espionage on the roof of the CNI and the Supreme Court judge who controls it, stating that the Government limits itself to setting the guidelines to be followed by the Center but does not know either the measures used or the decisions intelligence services operations.
"It has never happened with this government and I guarantee you that it will not happen."
The president has assured that he does not want to question the doubts raised by the report by the Citizen Lab
forensic laboratory,
which published a list of 65 people, all of them related to the independence cause, and who had been spied on through the Pegasus program, but he has asked distinguish between solid information and mere conjecture and "unproven facts".
He has also avoided delving into the relations maintained by some leaders of secessionism with foreign powers, referring to the contacts maintained by Puigdemont and his environment with
Moscow
.
He has called for understanding, dialogue and a "reunion" with
Catalonia
and has insisted that his personal commitment is to resume close contact with the
Generalitat
.
And he has assured that "the problems of dialogue will be resolved with more dialogue and more democracy."
At the end of his speech, the president announced a reinforcement of the investments in the CNI and an improvement in its capacities.
In this sense, he added, his intention to review the law that regulates the intelligence service and reinforce its mechanisms of democratic control.
Thus, the Government, following the proposal made by the PNV, will approve a new Law of Official Secrets, will modify the regulatory law of the CNI and its judicial control.
Sánchez has also anticipated that the new director of the CNI,
Esperanza Casteleiro
, will be able to go "normally" to Congress to give an account of the central guidelines for her actions.
