MADRID: Spain's fragile coalition government was on the defensive Tuesday over its announcement that the mobile phones of the premier and defence minister were tapped using Pegasus spyware.
According to Canadian cybersecurity watchdog Citizen Lab, the phones of over 60 people linked to the Catalan separatist movement had been targets of spyware after a failed independence bid in 2017.Sanchez's minority government relies on the ERC to pass legislation and remain in power until the next general election due at the end of 2023.
"There are a ton of unanswered questions. The explanations given were pathetic," he told a news conference, adding the affair could"put an end to the legislature".Esteban Gonzalez Pons, a senior official with the main opposition conservative Popular Party , accused the government of"announcing a national security breach with a one-year delay to earn sympathy" from the Catalans.
Asked during the radio interview if Morocco was responsible, he said it was important"not to make assumptions".At the time of the hacking, Madrid and Rabat were engulfed in a diplomatic crisis sparked by Spain's decision to host a Western Sahara independence leader for medical treatment.
