This Thursday, we learned the news of the departure of the country three American spies for his involvement in the recruitment of the two CNI agents arrested for leaking secret information to the United States. This situation is shocking given the friendly relationship between both countries, which in other countries could have been a diplomatic conflict.

In ‘Al Rojo Vivo’, the journalist from ‘El País’ Miguel Gonzalez explained that the Americans have chosen to remove these spies rather than do it as an expulsion, something that is the “minimum” measure in the face of an act that is considered “hostile”.

Both the Foreign Minister, Jose Manuel Albares, like the Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, asked the United States embassy for explanations as soon as they learned about the case. The ambassador, Julissa Reynosoignored the matter, claiming that he was not aware of the situation and that it was a program prior to Joe Biden’s arrival at the White House.

Those who know the inside of the CNI say that normally issues like this are resolved internally. However, this issue is in the hands of justice, which leads us to think that it is a somewhat serious issue. So much so that the two Spanish agents could face prison sentences of up to 12 years for a crime of revealing secrets.

Nevertheless, Margaret Robles chose to reduce the tension regarding this matter, clarifying that both countries are “friends, allies and partners“When there are issues that could affect them, they are talked about and dealt with, but it does not affect these relationships,” stated the minister.
