Or ... the forces interested in spying on politicians answer neither to him nor to the catalans. While I don't disagree with your characterisation of Prime Minister Sanchez, is it not at least as likely that the forces doing the spying view both Sanchez and the catalans as valid targets? When you look around the Spanish monarchical/military/judicial/political landscape, are there not several more likely sources of hidden and not-so-hidden power that want to keep their vassals under control?

I can understand not liking Sanchez, although your comment seems too much.

But El Diario, while being biased to the left, has never seemed to me like particularly loyal to PSOE. I used to read El País and I stopped exactly for that reason, but El Diario seems to me like one of the few still doing real journalism.

I love it when I find comments on HN discussing their own countries politics, especially if I don’t know a lot about their country. I hope other readers remember to take your comment, and of course mine, with generous pinches of salt.

This comment sounds biased to me.

I'm not a fan of PSOE by any means, but why are you spreading such bullshit?

> he would sell his own mother to stay power

I don't totally agree with this, but I agree with the think that this is likely a strategy to avoid people talking about his government spying other parties politicians using Pegasus.
