He described him as a “champion of toxicity”. SYRIZA Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Kostas Karamanlisreferring to the objections of the official opposition party in the case monitoring.

“Once again, we have heard incredible allegations, which, as always, come from the mainstream opposition. SYRIZA remains the toxicity champion in 2022. Because while there have been some “revelations” about wiretapping in recent weeks, there is currently no evidence linking the Prime Minister to malware. And in fact, the Prime Minister himself took the initiative, and in the coming days, the bill with four speeches will be submitted for public discussion. Indeed, I wonder Mr. Tsipras, who yesterday did not deny the existence of the corresponding software in 2018, what did he do? said Mr. Karamanlis, speaking in Parliament.

As he added, “It’s simple: the applicants will either provide the court with the necessary evidence, or continue to do what you have been doing since 2012. That is, to spoil everything and create an incredible stench. Because the free press in Greece in 2022 is not threatened by any censorship. Freedom of the press is threatened by censorship imposed by pure obscenity. Today we see that the prime minister, the chairman of this faction, which brought democracy to Greece and was the guarantor of democratic institutions, is implicitly bound as an organizer of surveillance.”

“So if anyone in the opposition wants to play the all-for-all game around this whole story, know that it won’t work. I think most Greeks will recognize that the government has made a very big effort over the past three and a half years and has successfully overcome very serious crises. And I would tell you something else: from the time and from the moment when we have all these crises, even in Greek-Turkish relations, trying to create this climate of political instability, I would say that this is going too far” “Let’s ask those who are listening who are interested in destabilizing the political scene today and creating an atmosphere of absolute political toxicity that reminds us very much of gray and strange times, such as the times of separation between memo and anti-memo” .
