Scandal .. Morocco is spying on the Catalan government because of its relationship with the rural independents
The Spanish electronic newspaper “ La Vanguardia ” revealed today, Sunday, May 15, 2022, that Morocco may have used the Israeli spyware Pegasus to spy on a group of Catalan parliamentarians and activists because of their positions on the rural issue.
The Spanish newspaper confirmed that the good relationship that brings together a group of activists and rural organizations with their Catalan counterpart, which bears the same independence reference, made the Moroccan regime work to spy on them.
A group of Catalan parties and organizations is working to support the rural cause, by organizing many international seminars and meetings.
The Spanish government had announced the dismissal of Paz Esteban, director of the National Intelligence Center, over the scandal of spying on the phones of Spanish officials. The crisis, whose dimensions have been revealed, may undermine the party coalition that is currently leading the country.
The Spanish Defense Minister, Margarita Robles, announced that the government has dismissed Paz Esteban, director of the National Intelligence Center, over the phone-hacking scandal of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Catalan independence officials, including regional president Pere Aragones.
While Sanchez's office refused to confirm this information in response to AFP's request, a source in the Spanish government told Reuters, confirming a report published by El Pais newspaper, that the government had dismissed the head of the intelligence service.
Government spokeswoman Isabel Rodriguez and Defense Minister in charge of intelligence Margarita Robles are scheduled to speak to the press after the cabinet announcement, the government said.
