The former Vice President of the Government, Pablo Iglesias, pointed out this Thursday on Catalunya Radio that who should assume responsibilities is not the director of the CNI, Paz Esteban, replaced on Tuesday, but the Defense Minister, Margaret Oaks.
For the former vice president, there are sectors “of the deep state that are conspiring against democracy”, which he believes must be “purged”.
In this way, Iglesias tried to find out if he could have suffered espionage through the Pegasus software, during his time in the Government, but it is impossible to verify since the mobile terminal was reset after leaving his executive position.
As sources from his environment have explained to Europa Press, Iglesias decided to try to clarify this point as a result of the first information about Executive positions that suffered espionagesuch as the case of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez.
In this way, United We Can take steps to clarify if your mobile phone at that stage could have been infected with Pegasus and if it was possible to review it to clear up that concern.
The query reached the Executive who specified that this verification was no longer possiblesince the usual protocol was applied when leaving government office, which in the case of Iglesias was at the end of March 2021. Specifically, once the mobile is delivered, it is reset and returned to the original factory settings of the terminal.
In this way, the Executive explained in its response to this query that the technicians confirmed that, if a forensic check was carried out on the phone that Iglesias used in his time as vice president, no information could be obtained about a possible Pegasus infection.
On the other hand, Iglesias has warned that, If the PP reaches the Government together with Vox, “party illegalizations” will take place and an “unprecedented loss of freedoms and democratic rights.”
On the other hand, he has opined that the monarchy “is a limit to the survival of Spanish democracy” and that the “only alternative for the future” is through a “republican alliance”.
