The PSOE demands “immediate” judicial actions before the Catalunya operation

Pedro Sánchez defends that the entire plot of political espionage and the persecution of the Catalan independence movement deployed during the terms of his predecessor in office, Mariano Rajoy, as President of the Government, be investigated “to the last consequences”, according to new journalistic information that at the La Vanguardia and Eldiario.es have been revealing this since last Monday. The leadership of the PSOE demands, in this sense, “to go to the end to investigate the possible crimes committed by the Government of the Popular Party.” And not only through the investigation commission opened in the Congress of Deputies on the so-called Catalunya operation, to clarify the possible political responsibilities of the PP and Rajoy's Executive, but also demands that "immediate judicial actions" be undertaken, in the face of the alleged commission of crimes that the journalistic investigation is revealing.

In the leadership of the PSOE, it is very striking that, to date, none of the alleged irregularities or illegalities that seem to surround this Catalunya operation of the PP have been prosecuted, according to the journalistic information that is coming to light, when they consider that There is plenty of material being exposed for Justice to enter into the matter or for a court to open proceedings in this regard, as it did, however, with respect to the Kitchen plot of political corruption that also affected the PP.

For now, the Executive and the PSOE are not considering taking the initiative and taking legal action against these events, or reporting them to the Prosecutor's Office. But party sources do warn that "the PSOE will go to the end to investigate possible crimes committed by the PP Government." “The so-called Catalunya operation is the Watergate of the Government of the Popular Party and Mariano Rajoy”, highlights Ferraz, in reference to the political conspiracy that took place in the 70s of the last century in the United States, and which finally resulted in the resignation of the then president, Richard Nixon.

“The information that both La Vanguardia and Eldiario.es are revealing reveal very serious behaviors in democracy that require immediate judicial action and a political investigation within the framework of the Congress of Deputies, which clarify both the scope and the creators and connoisseurs of this plot”, they emphasize in the leadership of the PSOE. "We are talking about a conspiracy to use elements of the State that are the property of all and paid for by citizens, such as the National Police or the Civil Guard, to spy on political enemies of the Popular Party and the fabrication of false evidence against these. "No one who disagreed with the Government during the years of Mariano Rajoy and the PP can say today with certainty that they were not investigated or spied on for this plot," the socialists warn.

And they also point towards the current leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo. “Are there people linked to the Catalunya operation left in the Popular Party today? It is another question that judicial investigations and the investigative commission of the Congress of Deputies must answer. Is Feijóo going to collaborate in these investigations? Does He Know anything that could help us know the whole truth? “It is time to speak,” they say in the PSOE.

“Did the President of the Government of Spain during those years, Mariano Rajoy, have knowledge of or participate in any way in the plot? “It is no small matter that a scandal of these proportions affects a president who had to be removed from office by a motion of censure precisely because of the corruption that devastated his party and his government,” they require in Ferraz's direction.

In the PSOE they want to show their absolute concern "for the apparent use that was given to the resources of the country's security to put them at the service of the PP." “The thunderous silence of Feijóo and the rest of the relevant positions in the PP only deepens this concern and makes us expect the worst: that everything is true, and that events have occurred in our country that would embarrass any democrat,” warn the socialists.
