Pegasus software was allegedly used to intercept communications from other governments such as Venezuela and Mexico.
Colombian Senator Antonio Correa referred to the Pegasus Software, purchased by the Government of Iván Duque with the aim of spying on opponents, human rights defenders and journalists during the 2021 national strike.
This program was also used to intercept communications from other progressive governments “I have great concerns: Where has there been noise and effectiveness of Pegasus? It starts in Mexico. At a time when President López Obrador had just arrived; a progressive government, then the overthrow of the government of the neighboring country Venezuela is announced with great fanfare, said Colombian Senator Antonio Correa of the U Party.
Also, the Colombian senator emphasized the importance of the countries that have been victims of Pegasus joining together to face this threat in a joint manner. “We hope that in eight days we will be in the new debate with questionnaires but it is very important that the countries that have been victims of this spyware have an urgent meeting.” This can directly affect national security.
He said that “there must be a meeting between Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela to determine who were the people spied on and which was the entity that took the 11 million dollars for that financial and cash transaction to Israel,” he said.
Correa also stressed that the appearance of the United States ambassador, Francisco Palmieri, was requested, “so that he can certify the real plan.”
Colombian Senator Antonio Correa says that “Pegasus seeks to destabilize progressive governments by intercepting communications with Presidents Gustavo Petro, AMLO and Nicolás Maduro.”
Pegasus works through video calls, malicious links that once installed can access different data, such as messages, emails, browsing history, location and call logs.
