Spain’s Defense Minister Margarita Robles has criticized the Popular Party (PP) for accusing Morocco of using Pegasus spyware to spy on senior Spanish officials, including Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, without evidence, Europa Press reported on Tuesday.
Robles clarified that the data obtained via Pegasus was strictly personal and posed no threat to Spain’s national security. She asserted that both the government and the National Intelligence Center (CNI) have fully cooperated with the ongoing investigation.
Calling the accusations against Morocco ” unreasonable “, the minister urged caution and emphasized that only courts can determine culpability.
The National Cryptologic Center (CCN) has submitted ten reports to the National Court, the latest on October 23, responding to judicial requests.
“We were the first victims of this attack, but we have fully cooperated with the judiciary,” Robles said, urging for a respectful and integrity-driven debate.
