New Approval Process for Phone Surveillance by the CIA
March 27, 2026
After extensive discussions, a solution was found for the issue of phone surveillance related to state security. The head of the CIA will have the authority to initiate surveillance and, if necessary, will seek approval from a three-member committee within 72 hours. This new procedure replaces previous proposals and seems to have the support of most political parties. The new amendment is set to be presented to the plenary of Parliament on April 2. This move is expected to bring more transparency to the surveillance process.
