PAN allegations of digital espionage in Mexico
Overview
The Mexican political party Acción Nacional (PAN) has formally denounced alleged digital espionage and harassment targeting journalists and independent media to European authorities. Following a diplomatic tour by PAN leader Jorge Romero, the European People's Party (PPE) submitted a parliamentary inquiry to the European Commission.
The inquiry, led by PPE Vice President Dolors Montserrat, seeks to determine if the reported surveillance and digital profiling—described as a ‘digital ecosystem’ of monitoring—violate human rights, pluralism, and the rule of law. These practices may conflict with commitments in the Modernized Global Agreement between Mexico and the European Union. PAN representatives provided dossiers to European officials detailing the alleged deterioration of democratic conditions and the vulnerability of reporters, citing perceived inaction by Mexican federal institutions regarding the systematic intimidation of the press.
