He spied members of Parliament in 2022 and recently exposed a part of their corruption to the media. The ultimate goal is to turn the people against them and prepare for a reduction in their number and role.

Well, in the US we had organizations that aren’t supposed to spy on citizens actually spy on Congress members! Nixon was impeached for much less… but I guess once we passed into the new millennium all bets were off starting with Carnivore but eventually into spying on Congress members…
