  • 'Pegasus Case' Pere Aragonès: "The CNI espionage with Pegasus is the second part of the 'Catalonia operation'"

  • 'Pegasus Case' The Government learned that the CNI was spying on Pere Aragonès for leading the CDR

The concatenation of factors has caused the telematic appearance of

Pablo Iglesias

as a witness in the Parliament

commission

investigating the espionage of members of the independence movement to occur in full controversy due to the content of the

Supreme Court

orders that authorized the

CNI

to infiltrate the program.

Pegasus

on the mobile phone of the president of the Generalitat,

Pere Aragonès

, considering that he was the shadow leader of the

CDR

.

The founder of Podemos and former second vice president of the Government between January 2020 and March 2021 has indicated that "it would be extremely serious" if the Government of Pedro Sánchez "had ordered espionage" of the Catalan president, who then held the position of vice president of the Generalitat, to obtain political benefits within the framework of the negotiations between the PSOE and Esquerra Republicana for the previous investiture and the first meeting of the dialogue table (February 2020). Of course, Iglesias wanted to make it clear that while he sat in The Council of Ministers was never "aware that anyone was being spied on."

In a more political assessment, Iglesias has stressed that this would be "good news" only for the right, since the Catalan president "could never trust Sánchez, despite being leaders of two forces called to understand each other so much in Congress of the Deputies as in the Parliament".

On the other hand, the former Secretary General of Podemos considers that the Minister of Defense,

Margarita Robles

, "should have resigned" over the

Pegasus case,

since she was not able to prevent the software from being installed on her and the President of the Government himself. ".
