Several Spanish newspapers on Tuesday reported allegations that the U.S. intelligence agency had used the airport of Son Sant Joan on the Mediterranean island of Mallorca as a base of operations from early 2004 to early 2005.
The Spanish government had no knowledge of the alleged flights but a judge was investigating them, Alonso told Spanish television channel Telecinco.
"If it were confirmed that this is true, we would be looking at very serious, intolerable deeds because they break the basic rules of treating people in a democratic legal and political system," he said.
