“What does a State have to do when someone violates the ConstitutionWhen someone declares independence, cuts off public roads, organizes public disorder or is having relations with political leaders of a country that is invading Ukraine?” With this counter question, Defense Minister Margarita Robles responded to the accusations launched by the independence parties about espionage on more than 60 Catalan and Basque leaders and activists, slipping the idea that the CNI did monitor the sovereignist universe in 2017 and 2019.
In a control session that has been largely monopolized by the ‘Catalangate’, the socialist minister has debunked the accusations of massive espionage due to the lack of evidence. And she has pointed to the official secrets commission as the only forum in which explanations can be givensince the actions of the National Intelligence Center are reserved.
“What I hope is that once that commission is constituted everything will come out, they can see the documentation and, perhaps, many of those who now give lessons will have to shut up when they see the actions they have had. In that commission everything will come out Of course,” said the minister, implying that there were well-founded reasons to investigate the independence movement. “Hopefully we will set up the commission soon and we can talk about Pegasus yes or Pegasus no because I tell you that many would be surprised“, he insisted.
