The People's Party (PP) intends to portray Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez as a leader surrounded by corruption and, since the beginning of the term, has not missed an opportunity to insist. Now it wants to try again with the controversy surrounding the Chinese multinational Huawei, with which the Spanish government signed a €12.3 million contract to store data. This Wednesday, the PP's Secretary General, Miguel Tellado, even spoke of the "Huawei case" and is already requesting the appearance of several Spanish government ministers to explain themselves, despite the fact that no legal proceedings are currently underway in this regard. There is, however, a warning from the European Commission, recommending that member states not work with the Chinese multinational to avoid security risks.

The President of the Generalitat (Catalan Government), Salvador Illa, met this Sunday morning with the Chinese company Huawei. Government sources assure that it was an "institutional and courtesy" visit. The meeting took place amidst a controversy over the contract that the Ministry of the Interior awarded to the Chinese multinational to manage the storage of wiretaps ordered by judges and prosecutors.

The European Commission insisted this Tuesday that European Union countries must "restrict or exclude Huawei from their 5G networks" because the Chinese company "represents a much greater risk" than other providers. "The lack of swift action exposes the European Union as a whole to a clear risk," European Commission spokesperson for Technological Sovereignty Thomas Regnier told Efe news agency when asked about the agreement Spain has signed with Huawei for the supply of wiretapping services.

Chinese firm Huawei, the world leader in 5G telecommunications equipment, will launch next week the first laptops with its own operating system, HarmonyOS 5, which do not incorporate any type of technology from the US, neither software nor hardware. Huawei's measure of self-sufficiency in computers adds to those it already maintains in chips of smartphone, connected cars, smart devices and AI servers.

Belgian authorities have searched the Brussels headquarters of technology giant Huawei in connection with a possible corruption case in the European Parliament. According to information released Thursday by the Follow the Money platform and Belgian media, The Evening and Knack, some 15 current and former MEPs are allegedly implicated in the investigations. Federal police have raided the homes of several of the company's lobbyists on suspicion of involvement in bribery, forgery, money laundering, and organized crime involving members of the European Parliament.
