Enemies everywhere

In a 2017 interview, Pons claimed reports of political prisoners and political refugees after the 2017 Catalonia independence attempt was "Russian interference" and fake news". "Spain should ask NATO for protection against fake news", because "the extreme left and the extreme right like to misinform the public about what the European Union represents. Europe has enemies within and outside the European Union."
