• The government of Pedro Sánchez is accused of having lied about its involvement in the 'Catalonia Operation'.
• The intervention of the phone of the then Vice President of Catalonia, Pere Aragonès, took place under the mandate of Sánchez, not Rajoy as previously claimed.
• The government has declassified three orders by which the Supreme Court judge approved three extensions of the intervention.
• The dates of these extensions coincide with critical political moments, raising suspicions about the executive's motives.
• The government has tried to mask this operation by making it seem like a legacy of the previous executive.
• The CNI, which reports to the Ministry of Defense, is unhappy with the government's attitude, accusing it of using its obligatory silence to evade responsibility.
• The PSOE has used the revival of the Catalonia Operation to criticize the PP and legitimize the amnesty of its allies, but now this is backfiring.

Conclusion: The discrepancy between the actions and declarations of the government has caused a larger scandal and could be damaging the state itself.
