In Spain there is growing concern over the use of Chinese technology from Huawei in processes closely tied to national security. According to local media in the European country, the current government signed contracts with the Shenzhen-based company to provide servers to its law enforcement and intelligence agencies—going against the European Union’s recommendations.
According to official Spanish government documents published by The Objective, the Interior Ministry armed its agencies with Chinese Huawei OceanStor 6800 V5 servers to store wiretaps obtained prior to judicial authorization.
These contracts with Huawei were given after the arrival of the Government of the current Executive headed by the socialist Pedro Sanchez. Prior to the Socialist Party Government, they were revoked by the centrist Popular Party, which replaced Huawei, contracted for the first time by the governments of the Socialist José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.
Rodríguez Zapatero himself is under scrutiny by the center-right opposition in Spain, accused of lobbying in favor of the Chinese company.

Several Western governments have warned about the dangers that lie in the use of Huawei’s technology for national security tasks.

The Objective is as reliable news source as your neighbor telling you what they have heard in a bar.
They spew bullshit and right wing propaganda left and right.
Trade with China.
But handing your critical infrastructure to China is not the way to go.
The popular party is not centrist, they once called themselves that but they’ve always been right wing. They might seem centrists now that the far right has gained prominence but they are not.
Once said that, yeah, the socialist party has been practising the political inbreeding for so long that I doubt there’s anyone left with half a brain.
