TERREMOTO GEOPOLÍTICO : Alemanha afirma soberania, e expulsa chefe da espionagem CIA.
Germany expels Washington’s CIA Chief in Berlin. Germany accuses the CIA chief of having led two employees within Germany’s security services who are under investigation for being double-agents. Following previous NSA spying scandals and pressure against German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the scandal opens a geopolitical can of worms and questions about German sovereignty. Steffen Seibert, the spokesman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and Clemens Binninger, the Chairman of the Parliamentary Control Group, announced that the German Federal Government expels the United States’ CIA Chief in Berlin.
Stressing that the events are “very serious”, Seibert explained that the government requested to expel the CIA chief on the basis of the results of ongoing investigations conducted by the Federal Prosecutor General, as well as on the basis of months of unanswered questions pertaining the activities of U.S. intelligence agencies in Germany. While the German Parliament (Bundestag) established a commission of inquiry into the U.S. spy activities, Washington has not exactly been forthcoming with information. After a meeting of the Parliamentary Control Group (PKGr), Clemens Binninger explained that the expulsion comes in response to U.S. intelligence agencies’ long-term failures to show efforts to cooperate with German authorities. “The federal government asked the American intelligence representative to leave the country”, Binninger added.
