Overview

• Ana Redondo told senators the monitoring network operates normally, offered apologies for the “noise” caused, and said no relevant incidents were registered in 2024 or 2025.
• The prosecutor’s office had documented technical issues from the March 2024 provider switch that blocked access to pre‑migration geolocation data, triggering provisional dismissals and acquittals later largely reopened after data recovery.
• Political pressure intensified with the Congress reproof already approved, a Madrid City Council motion demanding Redondo’s resignation, and a PP drive to file similar motions across municipalities.
• The ministry outlined a new procurement effective May 2026 that adds rural‑coverage upgrades, a real‑time consultation app, a dedicated complaints‑management module, and more specialized staff in the control center, keeping device ownership with the state.
• Equality announced an internal investigation to verify contract compliance by the Securitas‑Vodafone consortium and potential penalties, as Redondo rejected claims about AliExpress‑sourced devices, foreign data control, or victims being left unprotected.
