“Will Mr. Mitsotakis recognize ADAE’s constitutional role or will he hide his wiretapping responsibility behind Dogiakou’s unconstitutional opinion?”. This is the question posed SYRIZA Prime Minister after the opinion of I. Doyakos.

After and from statement by 16 professors of constitutional lawKoumunduru’s party points out in a statement: “For two days now, all the legal scholars and constitutionalists of the country have verbatim deconstructed the unprecedented conclusion of the Prosecutor of the Supreme Court, Mr. Dogiakos, and the attempted blockade in the work of investigating the wiretapping scandal by the Constitutional-only competent National Anti-Corruption Commission.”

And he concluded by asking the Prime Minister: “Will Mr. Mitsotakis publicly accept that the Anti-Corruption Commission has the constitutionally guaranteed right to investigate who is under the surveillance of the EPM under the pretext of ‘national security’, or will he remain as guilty, alone with Mr. Doyako, using a convenient but clearly unconstitutional opinion to cover up your duties?”

Economou: We must unconditionally respect the functioning of the judiciary

Answering a related question during today’s briefing for political editors, government spokesman Yiannis Oikonomou said that “the government is not arguing with the scientific community, but is following the ongoing dialogue” and is also attacking the opposition.

“The government defends its laws, unless, of course, one of them turns out to be unconstitutional, that’s another story, we should not position ourselves against justice and independent power in accordance with our political views and aspirations. We must unconditionally respect the functioning of justice. It seems that the opposition does not follow the same tactics, because in the past it has characterized the independent authorities as scumbags, offering to return them to state control,” he said.
