• ESPIONAGE The independence movement takes advantage of the Government's proposal to the EU: "The State is behind the espionage of Pegasus"

MEPs investigating the use of the Pegasus program to spy on members of the Spanish government and pro-independence leaders see it as "plausible" that Morocco is behind the wiretapping, after the clues collected point to "third countries", including North Africa.

In its first conclusions, the commission has observed the lack of information and transparency in the case of espionage, has made it clear that the persecution of "ideas, however crazy they may be", can never be protected by national security and has urged the Spanish authorities to cooperate with the courts and to conclude as soon as possible the reform of the law of official secrets and the framework governing the CNI.

The MEPs have complained about not being able to meet with government ministers, specifically with the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, and have been "disappointed" for not having been able to hold more meetings with the Spanish authorities to clarify the case.

He has also clarified the European mission that has not gone to Spain to "deal with the Catalan question" although it has to be clarified "what has happened in Spain with the espionage of independentistas".

The secessionism has again pointed out today the Government of Pedro Sánchez before the European Parliament as responsible for the espionage of sixty secessionist charges. This Tuesday the president of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Meritxell Serret, have called on the MEPs arrived in Madrid to gather information on the Pegasus case to "go all the way" of what separatism has come to baptize as "Catalangate".

Aragonès and Serret have transferred to the European mission that espionage is "another episode of dirty war of the State against independence" and have claimed "protection". Serret has stressed that she was spied on while she was on the run in Belgium to show European parliamentarians the "cross-border" dimension of the case.

In parallel, the Parliament has transferred to the Prosecutor's Office the refusal of Sánchez and his ministers Margarita Robles and Fernando Grande-Marlaska to appear before the investigation commission that the Catalan Chamber created to clarify the wiretapping carried out with the Israeli espionage program.

The independence movement has clung to the regulation of the Parliament, which states that the Bureau must account for the non-appearances before commissions of inquiry, to underline the lack of collaboration of the President of the Government and his heads of Defense and Interior.

The Bureau has informed the envoys of the European Parliament of its notification to the Public Ministry, ignoring that on other occasions the Prosecutor's Office has filed similar complaints before the refusal of state leaders to go to offer explanations to the regional Parliament.
