The commission of official secrets extended for the first time for four hours, with the presence of the Basque and Independence forces of Catalonia and Euskal Herria. The dissemination of the information provided is sanctioned by law, but the leaks followed the meeting and subsequently began to appear in various media. According to this information, the Spanish Supreme Court gave Members the permits granted to the CNI to expel several persons, in order to demonstrate the legality of espionage. In these permits you could read the name of 18 people, all of them linked to Catalan independence, and the data of another ten people were erased. However, the Citizen Lab study, which is at the root of the scandal, talked about 65 people, but Esteban did not give instructions on 37 other alleged spies. Not even around the alleged espionage of Pedro Sánchez and Margarita Robles (after the meeting El País has expanded that the phone of Fernando Grande Marlaska was also monitored).

List of Ears

The Ser and eldiario.es media ensure that some of the names reported in the committee are:

Pere Aragones, President of the Generalitat.

- Josep Lluís Alay Carles Puigdemonte, Chief of Negotiator.

- Lawyer Gonzalo Boye.

- Jordi Sánchez, General Secretary of Junts and former President of the National Assembly.

- Marcel Mauri, former president of Omnium Cultural.

- Mrs. Elisenda Paulize President of the National Assembly.

- CUP Parliamentary Carle Riera.

- Josep Maria Matamala Senator of Junts.

- Elies Campo, a computer scientist who participated in the report of the Citizen Lab that released the espionage.

Adverse Reactions

At the time of the commission's departure, the parties in Catalonia and Euskal Herria denounced the lack of relevant information in the committee and again called for the establishment of a commission of inquiry. Mertxe Aizpuru of EH Bildu pointed out that there are “many things to be clarified” and that, along the same lines, Aitor Esteban of the PNV, “much remains to be said”. “We’ve gone out the way we got,” said Gabriel Rufiane of the ERC. Miriam Nogueras, from Junts, in addition to selling the “scandal”, said he was unwell because at the meeting he was confirmed that his phone had been infected by the Pegasus program.

The current president of the Generalitat is one of the spaces, but in the committee Esteban did not specify the spies that have occurred before, after, or in both. On Friday morning Aragon and Pedro Sánchez joined in Barcelona in an event. Aragon asks Sanchez for an urgent meeting due to the “gravity” of the situation, and then they open the meeting from Moncloa, but without making a specific date.

Tensions in the Spanish Government

Pegasus has raised powders among the nationalists and independentists of the Basque Country and especially of Catalonia. But the issue is generating a lot of tension even within the Spanish Government. We have on several occasions called for the resignation of Defence Minister Margarita Robles. After the committee, Pablo Echenique repeated the message: “What they have told us reinforces the need to assume political responsibilities.”

But, in addition to the members of the coalition government, the tension within the PSOE is becoming more and more evident. Robles has carried out a passionate defence of the work of the CNI and has come to point out to the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, a man of trust from Sánchez. Both sides are constantly filtering the media. Those of Robles are fuelling the suspicion that Morocco could be behind the espionage of the members of the government, and those of the president take responsibility in the CNI, and consequently in Robles.
