<\/div>\n

The Catalan president has called on the Spanish government to launch an \u201cofficial and independent investigation\u201d into how and why he and more than 60 figures associated with the regional independence movement reportedly had their mobile phones targeted<\/a> using NSO Group\u2019s Pegasus spyware.<\/p>\n

Pere Aragon\u00e8s told the Guardian that the alleged targeting, revealed by Citizen Lab cybersecurity experts on Monday, constituted a violation of individual rights, an attack on democracy, and a threat to political dissent.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy phone was targeted because of my political duties \u2013 first as regional vice-president, and then as regional president,\u201d he said. \u201cThat goes beyond what was done to me as an individual and as a citizen. They were also attacking the democratically elected institution that is the Catalan government, which is an attack on all Catalan citizens and institutions, and, as such, an attack on democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Citizen Lab, Aragon\u00e8s and his three pro-independence predecessors were among at least 65 individuals whose phones were targeted or infected with mercenary spyware using fake texts or WhatsApp messages. Almost all the incidents took place between 2017 \u2013 the year of the failed bid for Catalan regional independence<\/a> \u2013 and 2020.<\/p>\n

Although NSO Group claims that Pegasus is sold only to governments to track criminals and terrorists, a joint investigation two years ago by the Guardian and El Pa\u00eds established that the speaker of the Catalan regional parliament and at least two other pro-independence supporters were warned the spyware had been used to target them<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aragon\u00e8s said the apparent spying had been on such a \u201cmassive scale\u201d that it could not have escaped the attention of the Spanish authorities. Nor, he added, was it likely to have been the work of a single agent within Spain\u2019s National Intelligence Centre (CNI).<\/p>\n

\u201cBig and significant resources would have been needed to set up this spying system,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are also approval processes that intelligence services need to go through, and that obviously means that this couldn\u2019t have gone unnoticed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Catalan president said that while spying on any citizen was a serious matter, the apparent use of Pegasus against politicians, lawyers and civil society groups was particularly worrying.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as we\u2019re concerned, it\u2019s absolutely essential that there\u2019s an official and independent investigation into whether, in this case, the CNI, or the Polic\u00eda Nacional or the Guardia Civil police forces of the Spanish state have used this program,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to know exactly how many times it was used, against whom, and with what justification. That will determine who was responsible. A government can\u2019t say that it didn\u2019t know what was going on. If it didn\u2019t know, it needs to find out who was responsible internally \u2013 because this is about persecuting political dissent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aragon\u00e8s said that while the targeting had \u201cdecimated\u201d trust in the Spanish government, his administration was still open to finding a negotiated solution to the political conflict that plunged Spain into crisis almost five years ago.<\/p>\n

He also warned the use of spyware such as Pegasus needed to be addressed around the world because \u201cwe\u2019re dealing with behaviour here that hasn\u2019t only happened in Catalonia\u201d. Even if Pegasus were to disappear, Aragon\u00e8s added, new software would soon take its place.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need limits on this technological intrusion into people\u2019s privacy,\u201d he said. \u201cAt the end of the day, a mobile phone is an extension of our own personal and private life. It\u2019s essential that there are independent mechanisms to verify that governments are not using tools that were developed to tackle terrorists against political rivals or adversaries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Citizen Lab and Amnesty International have also called for an official inquiry into the matter.<\/p>\n

The Spanish government has denied any wrongdoing, while the Polic\u00eda Nacional and the Guardia Civil have said they have had no dealings whatsoever with NSO groups and have never used its services.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Tuesday afternoon, the government\u2019s spokesperson, Isabel Rodr\u00edguez, said the allegations of spying were not new and had already been addressed by the government. \u201cBut I\u2019d like to reiterate our position, which is that the government has nothing to hide \u2013 absolutely nothing,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so the government will cooperate fully with the justice system and any investigations into these matters if that\u2019s what is asked by the courts. I\u2019d also like to stress that Spain is a democratic state with full rule of law. As such, any limitation on the fundamental rights of requires a judicial decision to be taken.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodr\u00edguez said the Socialist-led coalition government would not put up with Spain\u2019s \u201cdemocratic quality\u201d being called into question.<\/p>\n

However, she said she could not comment on whether the CNI had access to Pegasus or whether it had ever deployed the programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are matters that relate to national security that are protected by law and are classified material \u2013 secret matters \u2013 and I can\u2019t get into that,\u201d said Rodr\u00edguez. \u201cThe law prohibits it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CNI has previously told the Guardian and El Pa\u00eds that its work is overseen by the supreme court and that it acts \u201cin full accordance with the legal system, and with absolute respect for the applicable laws\u201d.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for NSO said: \u201cNSO continues to be targeted by a number of politically motivated advocacy organisations like Citizen Labs and Amnesty to produce inaccurate and unsubstantiated reports based on vague and incomplete information.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have repeatedly cooperated with governmental investigations, where credible allegations merit. However, information raised regarding these allegations are, yet again, false and could not be related to NSO products for technological and contractual reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n
