The PSOE of Getafe on Wednesday vehemently denied the existence of a 'spy network' in the municipality. The accusations, made by the PP, alleged that the Councilor for Citizen Security, Jorge Juan Rodríguez, had accessed the 'Vinfopol' platform, which contains sensitive citizen data such as fines, accidents, or arrests.

The 'popular' party had brought an urgent motion to the Plenary session to request the councilor's resignation, arguing that such access would allow for 'Big Brother'-like control over citizens. However, the initiative was rejected by the governing groups (PSOE, Más Madrid, and Podemos) when voting on its urgency.

The PSOE criticized that the spokesperson for the PP, Antonio José Mesa, falsely denounced a 'supposed network of fraudulent use of personal data' and 'shamelessly invents' that the mayor has requested access to security cameras for spying. The socialists deny these accusations, calling them an 'exercise of the lowest political level,' and confirm that 'access to data beyond the scope of official duties has never been requested or granted.'

Regarding access to traffic fine data, the Socialist Party recalled that it is the councilor himself who signs sanctions for offenders in the course of his duties. Furthermore, they attributed 'unfounded accusations demonstrating great ignorance' to Mesa, such as the claim that the City Council uses recycling card data for sanctioning purposes, which is expressly prohibited by regulations.

Finally, the socialists conclude that 'the PP of Getafe is mistaken when it speaks of false espionage in the city,' and have invited the 'popular' spokesperson 'to go to justice and report the facts they claim are illegal.'
