Vox says that what needs to be reformed is the Government instead of the CNI and warns Feijóo that he is not "on the right track"

MADRID, 26 May. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Vox spokesman in Congress, Iván Espinosa de los Monteros, assured this Thursday that the reform that must be undertaken after the Pegasus espionage scandal is in the Government and not in the National Intelligence Center (CNI) and has warned to the leader of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, that he is not "on the right track"

This was expressed in an interview on Radio Nacional, collected by Europa Press, when asked about what his formation expects from the monographic plenary session that began this morning in Congress in which the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, is appearing , to explain the espionage issue

They do not expect "much" from Sánchez's appearance because, in his words, he first talks about his management and then goes on the attack. "No matter what one asks, the answer always comes from the same direction: either it is Franco's fault, the virus or Putin's."

"What is needed is to reform the Government," insisted the Vox deputy, who has charged the Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, for the transfer of the then director of the intelligence services, Paz Esteban, to prevent " his or the president's head would roll.

Espinosa de los Monteros has stressed that "there is no good one in this Government" and has likened the "good" image of Robles to that of the First Vice President of the Government, Nadia Calviño, whom he has accused of "lying with total impunity" for his statements this Wednesday in which he questioned what is expected of a formation "that proposes to distribute weapons to citizens".

In relation to the declassification of reserved information, the leader of Vox has ruled out that it is a good idea to "open the CNI to transparency" because he considers that the secret services have to have "a certain degree of transparency with all the necessary care". Thus, he has pointed out that for this there are commissions such as that of Official Secrets.

"Then we would have to see what consequences those who leave the Commission running to tell what happens inside should face," he added in relation to the statements made to the media by some of those attending that committee on reserved expenses.

Thus, he has criticized that everything that is done beyond that commission in Congress is "cessions made by the Government to the separatists" to stay "one more day" in Moncloa. Also, he has pointed out that these deputies should have consequences, whether it be "a fine, a sanction or not attending the next secret commission."

Regarding the Pegasus software, the Vox parliamentarian has assured that it is not difficult for it to generate false positives and has wondered what happens to the rest of the pro-independence spies -- around forty -- since the CNI only admitted to having spied on 18 "Who would be behind it?", has been questioned, while asserting that there are many countries interested in "interfering" in what is happening in Spain.

Asked about the arrival of Feijóo, he has assured that they are not "functioning of the names of the people", but of the "facts", and has slipped that with the 'popular' leader "it is very difficult to know what is going to happen " because "sometimes he says one thing and other times the opposite". "What we are going to be attentive to what he does now," he warned.

In this key, he has criticized that it is "constantly" offering the Government "all kinds of pacts" and thus "it is not on the right track." "Nothing can be agreed with this government," he criticized, alluding to the Court of Auditors, which, according to Espinosa de los Monteros, "has delivered in an absolutely regrettable way."

"An institution cannot be agreed upon because this is not a reliable government, because it is a lying government, which puts the interests of an individual, not even a party, before it," he added, while emphasizing that a new leader of the Popular Party that what it is doing is "constantly reaching out" to a government "not on the right track." "But we have to wait and see," he concluded on this matter.

However, with a view to the electoral appointment in Andalusia, he has indicated that they aspire to be able to collaborate with the Andalusian PP because "a PP voter is most similar to that of Vox." He has recognized that there are "nuances" and "differences", but the voters want "agreement" and has assured that they will do "everything" on their part to make it so.

In relation to the departure of Macarena Olona from Congress to be able to compete as a candidate in these regional elections, the spokesman for Abascal's in Congress has not detailed who will take over the functions he held in the Lower House, but it will be known "early". He has praised the "training" of the 52 deputies of Vox that makes it "difficult" to elect, but the "most likely" is that the functions will be distributed among "more than one person."
