Alexis Tsipras blames the prime minister for the “surveillance scandal” in an article in which he estimates that K. Mitsotakis is “in free fall”.
In his article (EFSYN), the president of SYRIZA states, among other things, that
“The revelations to date about the “legal” and illegal surveillance of politicians and journalists represent a grave insult to the Constitution and leave a deep wound in the democratic functioning of the State. And Mr. Mitsotakis himself is, without a doubt, solely responsible for this diversion. No only because as Prime Minister he has the objective responsibility, but also because he hastened from the first day of his administration to assume by law, himself, the responsibility of the Ministry of Internal Affairs”.
He accuses the prime minister of “trying to save himself by shifting his responsibilities to the “Junta of Maximos”, which he himself chose and supported”.
Al. Tsipras, after talking about “public lies” by the prime minister’s close associates, emphasizes that there is “no doubt about the intentions but also the guilt, both of themselves and of their political superior”.
He accuses K. Mitsotakis of “avoiding to answer” the critical questions, “magnifying” the “suspicions” that “he is not just a dangerously ‘careless’ prime minister, but the head of a dark group that operated as a criminal organization, violating the Constitution and every democratic value”.
Specifically, he argues in his article that “apparently, the journalist Thanasis Koukakis was not placed under surveillance for reasons of national danger”, but for his investigation into the government’s amendment of the penal code “in order to grant immunity to high-ranking bank executives”. while regarding the monitoring of Nikos Androulakis, he speaks of the “intention” of his political opponents “to put him under ‘surveillance’ and if the possibility arose under permanent political blackmail”.
Institutional reboot
In this context, the president of SYRIZA-PS assesses as “a last political opportunity” for the prime minister “to leave with some dignity”, the choice of “taking political responsibility, resigning and appealing to the judgment of the Greek people”. “If he doesn’t, he may imagine that he is still in flight, but in reality he is in free fall. At the end of which he will inevitably have the impact,” he underlines.
Continuing, Al. Tsipras turns to the “next day” and emphasizes that “the simple change in power is not enough”. As he states, “what is required is a plan for the withdrawal and reorganization of the 3rd Hellenic Republic. An institutional restart plan, which will concern not only the EYP, but also the judiciary, the operation of the media, independent authorities and control mechanisms” with “serious and courageous reforms that will ensure more democracy, transparency, accountability, justice and meritocracy”. “And a government of democratic normality, change, and progress, is the only answer to the diversion, parastatal methods and institutional viciousness that the three-year Mitsotakis administration has led us to,” concludes Al. Tsipras.
