“Mr. Mitsotakis, with his speech yesterday, proves that he is not only a liar but also dangerous for the Democracy”, stressed the press representative of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance, Nasos Iliopoulos, speaking on the “First Program” radio of ERT.
“Yesterday the Prime Minister admitted that all this time they were lying about the surveillance, he falsely said that it was legal to spy on an MEP and party leader candidate, it appeared that he not only did not understand what was happening but continued an authoritarian anti-democratic descent for the country”, he underlined Nasos Iliopoulos and noted that in his speech yesterday, Kyriakos Mitsotakis “used phrases from the darkest pages of Greek history and nationalism, saying that the surveillance was done for reasons of national security and invoking hybrid threats”.
“We have a government that has lost all sense of democratic legitimacy and this government cannot stand one more moment in this country,” he said.
Asked if the elections are now close, he pointed out: “for our part, we have been asking for elections since last December, when the lies that Mr. Mitsotakis was telling about the Lytra-Tsiodra study were revealed and when he again appeared not to know that it’s not the same to be in ICU and not to be in ICU”.
“However, what happened these days is really a cut. Mr. Mitsotakis, in the surveillance case, was not caught with just the goat on his back but … with a whole flock. He cannot say that there is objective political responsibility and renounce the appointed his nephew to the position of general secretary of the prime minister and the appointed commander of the EYP”, said Nasos Iliopoulos.
“Mr. Mitsotakis is the political head of the EYP, the objective political responsibility belongs to him”, he underlined.
He added that “in his speech yesterday, Mr. Mitsotakis “did not say a word about the Predator, which is now seen from everywhere that the government has procured it”.
In response to a question about what will happen in the upcoming debate in Parliament caused by SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance, he emphasized: “conclusions will be reached, despite the fact that the government will avoid giving answers.” “The real conclusions will come after the elections, when in the next Parliament, which will have a progressive majority, a pre-investigation committee will be set up, which will investigate all the responsibilities arising around this case,” he noted.
Emphasizing that “we owe a lot to investigative journalism for uncovering the case of surveillance”, he referred to the journalist Thanasis Koukakis, who was the first to denounce his surveillance. “Thanasis Koukakis was investigating bank executive scandals, which the government was trying to cover up,” he said. “This whole tangle will unravel”, concluded Nasos Iliopoulos.
