Warsaw, Poland: Poland on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) rejected accusations that it had used Pegasus spying software for political ends after a top lawyer opposed to the current government said he had been targeted. 'The suggestion that Polish services used operational methods for political ends is unjustified,' said Stanislaw Zaryn, spokesman for the ministry in charge of the secret services. Roman Giertych, a lawyer involved in several cases against the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, told Gazeta Wyborcza that Poland was using the spyware 'to fight the democratic opposition.' 'Using this type of programme to fight the opposition completely eliminates the sense of democratic elections,' he said, explaining that the spyware was used ahead of the 2019 elections.
