Politico returns today to yesterday’s post for the occasion monitoring in Greece, starting to clarify.

As stated in today’s post, a Playbook column “is happy to clarify one point in Wednesday’s report on the surveillance scandal. Two high-ranking members of the Mitsotakis government who were forced to resign earlier this month due to what Athens calls “improper actions in connection with the law.” The opposition leader was legally monitored by the Greek agency EYP. Athens denies involvement in another and illegal surveillance of the same person using the Predator software, which took place around the same time.”

The government categorically denies any connection to the Predator surveillance scandal and says it remains available to the Commission for verification and fact-finding purposes.

Elsewhere, Politico reports that the Greek government released on Wednesday a letter sent by the country’s Permanent Representative to the European Union to the Commission’s Justice Committee “confirming the Playbook report.”

Lastly, the report talks about yesterday’s developments with the approval of the appointment of Ambassador Themistocles Demiris as head of the EMP, as well as the upcoming debate on the Predator case in Parliament on Friday.
