N. Iliopoulos: The government will apologize to the Parliament for the illegal surveillance of citizens and politicians

“The government of Mr. Mitsotakis will come to the Parliament apologizing for the illegal surveillance of citizens and politicians”, says the press representative of SYRIZA-PS Nasos Iliopoulos in a statement following the amendment tabled by the official opposition party “to abolish the provision that does not allow citizens to be informed in relation to surveillance they have undergone”.

In his statement, Mr. Iliopoulos states:

“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 by SYRIZA-PS for an extraordinary convening of the Committee on Institutions and Transparency. We have known for months that the journalist Thanasis Koukakis was monitored with the Predator software. The government of Mr. Mitsotakis will apologize to the Parliament for the illegal surveillance of citizens and politicians.

We are waiting for the government and the other parties to vote for the amendment tabled today by SYRIZA PS in order to abolish the provision that does not allow citizens to be informed in relation to surveillance they have undergone”.
