The complaints of Nikos Androulakis for an attempt to trap his mobile phone with the “heavy” predator monitoring program are being discussed today in the Institutions and Transparency Committee.
The president of PASOK filed a complaint with the Supreme Court, causing domino developments and reactions. PASOK requested the convening of the competent parliamentary committee, SYRIZA followed, Maximos pledged to clarify the case, while yesterday the prime minister himself, in his communication with the president of the Parliament, Kostas Tassoulas, requested that the Institutions and Transparency Committee meet on this case, immediately. oper and it happened as the Committee was scheduled yesterday to meet on 2 pm today, behind closed doors.
If it had happened to Mitsotakis or Tsipras?
Heavy spikes that some attempt to downgrade (including the media) the seriousness of the case was revealed last night in an interview (creta tv), the president of PASOK-KINAL.
“I am shocked because I am the first pan-European MEP who has been detected trying to be trapped by such heavy software. That is why, while some in Greece want to downplay it, the New York Times had an extensive article as did other major news networks. If this complaint had been made by Mr. Mitsotakis or a former Prime Minister, what would have happened today? Let your viewers think about it. If what has happened to me, had happened to Mr. Mitsotakis or Mr. Tsipras. Things are too very seriously and for the media to understand that this is not about me, it’s about our Republic”, is his characteristic aversion to the subject in question.
In this case, Mr. Androulakis said that what he expects “from the Greek judiciary and from the competent agencies, is to identify who is undermining the transparency and smooth functioning of the state”.
SYRIZA is behind bars
Koumoundourou, of course, has “raised” a lot the issue of the attempt to entrap the leader of PASOK-KINAL (and the friends close to the media party), talking about “Greece Mitsotakis” where political leaders and journalists are monitored.
Intervention via twitter Alexis Tsipras did, while the position of the party’s representative, N. Iliopoulos, is indicative:
“The European Parliament has confirmed the monitoring of a political leader. ND MP Mr. Papadimitriou considers it self-evident that political leaders are monitored even by foreign powers as if the country were an unripe vine. Mr. Mitsotakis reacts with a huge and culpable delay, after request also of the SYRIZA PS for an extraordinary convening of the Committee on Institutions and Transparency”.
In addition, through Mr. Iliopoulos, SYRIZA emphasizes:
1. We have known for months that journalist Thanasis Koukakis was being monitored with Predator software. The government of Mr. Mitsotakis will apologize to the Parliament for the illegal surveillance of citizens and politicians.
2. We expect from the government and the other parties, to vote on the amendment he submits today the SYRIZA MP to repeal the provision that does not allow citizens to be informed in relation to surveillance they have undergone
