The former president of the Generalitat of Catalonia Quim Torra has taken Spain for the first time before the European Human Rights Court (ECHR) for the use of the program Pegasus To spy politicians, in a lawsuit when he claims that he himself was the victim of that ‘software’ when he was in exercise.
Torra, to which a report by the Citizen Lab agency acknowledges that he was spied on with Pegasus in 2020, and the former Juns deputy Josep Costawhose mobile was infected with the malicious ‘software’ in 2019, have announced the presentation of two demands before the ECHR, which they ask that it condemn Spain for violating their fundamental rights.
After highlighting that he was spied between May and July 2020, when he was president of the Generalitat, Torra has been outraged that this fact “I had no political impact”despite the context in which the infections took place: in the middle of the pandemic and when its disabilities was already close to disobedience.
