“It looks like Mortadelo and Filemón.” Pere Aragonès charged and ridiculed the reason why the National Intelligence Center (CNI) justified spying on him: that he was “the coordinator” of the Committees for the Defense of the Republic (CDR). The president pounced against the agency and stated that he would be concerned “if a part of national security is in the hands of an intelligence service that makes errors of this magnitude and justifies violations of fundamental rights with lies.” Everything is, for the Republican, a “second part” of the Catalunya operation.Here the tone was more serious.

There are “lies” and “censorship”, and the information “is incomplete”, but Aragonés, in his statements when leaving the inauguration of the Madrenc school in Vilablareix, did not explicitly charge at any time against the PSOE or the Moncloa. The CNI took all the hits.

Relations will not change between the socialists and ERC due to espionage with Pegasus, although the declassification of documents has confirmed that the reason for doing so was, as they said, that he led the CDR (a point that La Vanguardia advanced in May 2022). This is what Sergi Sabrià, Vice-Minister of Strategy and Communication, referred to: “We have to take advantage of all opportunities and arithmetic; “Just because they have spied on us will not make us leave the table.” Sabrià noted, therefore, that in Congress the independence supporters have a lot at stake.

The republican leader assured that throughout yesterday “things would happen” with Moncloa. Party sources clarified that those of Oriol Junqueras will simply and for now demand all that part of the documentation that is hidden with black marks or erasures.

Contacts between the PSOE and ERC and between the Spanish and Catalan governments will not be altered, not even having certified through declassification that the Supreme Court authorized the wiretapping in July and October 2019 and in January 2020, when the Spanish government authorized it. directed, although at some point in office, by Pedro Sánchez.

However, several PSOE ministers denied the greatest. María Jesús Montero, Félix Bolaños and Fernando Grande-Marlaska assured that they were unaware of the infiltrations and that the authorizations for the wiretapping were made before Pedro Sánchez governed. The socialists have been in Moncloa since June 1, 2018. Ángel Torres, Minister of Territorial Policy, even asked the members of Mariano Rajoy’s PP government to clarify his actions with the spying on Aragonès.

The Catalan president asked that “responsibilities be cleared.” Also members of the Government assigned to Sumar, such as Yolanda Díaz or Pablo Bustinduy, urged those responsible to “be held accountable.”

The PP of Alberto Núñez Feijóo did not remain impassive. The president of the popular party himself tried to take advantage. Feijóo accused Sánchez of practicing “self-righteousness” because, as he said, he authorized espionage while he negotiated his investiture with Esquerra. For his part, the deputy secretary of the PP Elías Bendondo considered it paradoxical that the PSOE Government ordered an investigation into ERC for the violent actions, but now “it wants to give them amnesty.”
