The case of political espionage in the community of Madrid, is still rising interest in foreign press.

In an interview with radiocable.com, the correspondent of �??Proceso�?�, a Mexican magazine in Spain, affirms that the political espionage in Spain is �??a clear case of illegality.�?� See the inconsistent responses of those implied. However, Alejandro Gutierrez reveals that in Mexico, the case barely had any repercussions, even though in Mexico these type of denunciations are very common. In his country, secret services are mostly used for political and electoral goals to guarantee national security, or so he says. Sometimes these complains provoke some resignation, but the judicial investigations tend to be forgotten.

Alejandro Gutierrez considers that these denunciations of espionage in the community of Madrid are consistent, and not so much in the responses of the members of Madrid�??s executive. Gutierrez explains that in Mexico the espionage machine was taken off its objectives during the PRI era when �??it served more as a persecution of adversary politicians.�?� Also, since 1994 when the EZLN happened, intelligence offices at the regional level were created, inaugurating like this, an era in which political espionage is generalized at local level.

Even under these certain denunciations there are occasions where these mediums investigate very deeply and have proof, however, the judicial investigations that are not initiated tend to sepulchrate and not be left at nothing, affirms the foreign correspondent in Madrid�?�

The espionage case in the spanish Conservative party (PP) -which governs the region of Madrid- and the presumed creation of a group within the police force to espionage political rivals in its own party, is starting to be exposed in foreign press.

It is published by Corriere della Sera and he titles it, �??Watergate Madrileño,�?� it also published by Silvia Pisani of the Argentina Nation, who calls it �??Iberian Watergate�?�, it also published by Diane Cambon of Le Fígaro, published by Liberation, and published by Le Point who calls it: «Watergate in Popular Party», and Javier Cáceres of Süddeutsche Zeitung : �?�Friends Of The Spied Party.�?�,  �??The Spanish�??s Conservative Party Ordered the Espionage of their Rivals�?�.

In the subject all the ingredients for the dark novel appear. Spies, ex-policeman, influential traffickers, banks, police rivalry, Dossires, money�?�

The investigation, which was initiated by the journal, EL PAIS, has just began and the Fiscal has already asked to see all documentation. In very little time we will see what the Watergate in the Popular Party is about, or maybe it is just a simple winter storm.

But what there is no doubt about is that we must be very attentive towards this piece of news, which began with only a few discrete newspaper lines.
