“Yesterday it emerged that EYP was monitoring the Greek MEP’s communications even at the time – I don’t know how much of a coincidence this is – when an attempt was made to hack Mr. Androulakis’ mobile phone with Predator malware.” PASOK-Movement for Change spokesman Dimitris Manzos told ERT1 today, adding that “Mr. Grigoris Dimitriadis, the Prime Minister’s alter ego, relative and close associate, has resigned. The second person was Mr. Panagiotis Contoleon, before whose eyes the governing majority voted unanimously to lower the formalities so that the elected Prime Minister, Mr. Contoleon, could be placed in this critical position.”

“The EMP belongs to the narrow core of the much-touted ‘state state’ in the prime minister’s office, and its political head is Mr. Mitsotakis. When the EMP starts spying on influential people, politicians, journalists, it should at least inform its political superiors about it.

How much did the Prime Minister of Greece know, and since when? This key question will not be answered in the way the authorities want, but in the way provided for by the Law and the Constitution,” said a spokesman for the PASOK Movement for Change.

Commenting on the attitude of government officials in the Committee on Institutions and Transparency last week, Mr. Manzos said that “this time, let Mr. Gerapetritis side with the EMP governor and tell the whole truth that they did not tell nine days ago, at that while yesterday he was trying to send a message to Mr. Androulakis to inform him of something that had been known to the government for several days.”
