The confrontation between New Democracy and SYRIZA continues several hours after the end of the debate in Parliament on vote of no confidence against the government.

“Following the embarrassing situation that Mr. Tsipras found himself in Parliament and the confirmation that the letter from ADAE President Mr. Rammos contained no names, SYRIZA deemed it necessary to publish Mr. Tsipras’ letter to Mr. Rammos from the beginning of December, in which Mr. Tsipras wrote down the names,” the ND said in a statement.

The ruling party adds: “So they are proving in the most official way that Mr. Tsipras gave the names to Mr. Rammos prior to any ADAE investigation, and not Mr. Rammos to Mr. Tsipras. Mr. Tsipras misled parliament by mentioning names that were not in Mr. Rammos’ letter. Indeed, how did these names come to Mr. Tsipras and SYRIZA? How did Mr. Tsipras know the specific telephone numbers of these individuals? Which route exactly? Maybe from dirty networks? Unlike SYRIZA, the government has acted entirely institutionally from the very beginning, as seen today in Parliament. And he has full confidence in Greek justice, in whose hands the case is now.”

SYRIZA: Mr. Mitsotakis confirmed his guilt – letter from Tsipras to Rammos

His sources previously spoke of the “sad presence” of Mr Mitsotakis, who “confirmed his guilt” SYRIZA-PS, after her minus vote of no confidence from members of the coalition.

The same sources published a letter from Alexis Tsipras, to which ADAE President Mr. Rammos replied, confirming, as they say, “as well as the six persons claimed by Mr. Tsipras, that is, “the minister and five high-ranking officials of the armed forces” were under official EYP observation by Mr. Mitsotakis.”

“With today’s sad presence, Mr. Mitsotakis confirmed his guilt in an unprecedented wiretapping scandal as the head, organizer and mastermind of the parastatal organization that he installed in Maximos’s palace,” said the sources in question, stressing that “he did not even answer one of the questions put to him for three days, and he exhausted his argument in absurd amusement.”

“And, of course, he did not answer the inexorable questions put to him by Mr. Tsipras about the advisability of controlling the leadership of the Armed Forces and Laios and Alexopoulos over the flow of money from the 15 billionth equipment,” they commented.

Of the ND deputies who voted against the vote of no confidence, they said that “some for their seat, and others because they are being blackmailed by the Mitsotaki substate with wiretapping products, today they turned the Mitsotakis scandal into a scandal of their faction.”

“The worst thing, however, for the leader of a semi-state gang is that today not only the chapter of the “wiretapping scandal” is not closed, but an even bigger one is opening. Mr. Mitsotakis will drink the glass to the end,” they added and continued: “As for the regrettable attempt of Mr. Mitsotakis even today to convince that the names of 6 observed (Hatsidakis, Florou, Lalousi, Diakopoulos, Lagiou and Alexopoulos) did not know about them , and this was not in the response letter of Mr. Rammos, we are enclosing the official request that Mr. Tsipras sent to the President of ADAE.”

“Mr. Rammos responded to this by confirming that all 6 persons for whom Mr. Tsipras solicited, i.e. “the minister and five senior officers of the armed forces”, were under the official supervision of the EMP Mr. Mitsotakis, signed by Ms. Vlahos, “for reasons of national security, in the first case from November 2020 to June 2021, and in the second category of cases in total from July 2020 to May 2022,” concluded SYRIZA sources.
