In the surveillance case, today, Monday, Kyriakos Mitsotakiswith his statement, according to government sources.

The Prime Minister is expected to provide all the data on the case of surveillance of Nikos Androulakis. Meanwhile, the government, as mentioned by government spokesman Yannis Oikonomou, has reacted positively both to the establishment of a commission of inquiry into the wiretapping issue and to the reconvening of the parliamentary committee on institutions and transparency.

Economou: We don’t want a shadow

Speaking to SKAI about the surveillance case, Yannis Oikonomou emphasized that the government would not allow any shadow to remain.

As for what the prime minister is going to say in his statement, a government spokesman noted that “he will elaborate on this serious matter and tell how the government approaches this issue and how it intends to deal with it.”

Regarding how the case will be handled, he stressed: “We are for the Commission of Inquiry. This is an extremely serious case and must be clarified. We don’t want a shadow to remain. We have an event that is politically unacceptable. In a democracy, it is not normal for an MEP’s mobile phone to be tracked by national security agencies.”

He also noted that “if the Prime Minister had been informed, this would not have happened. That is why the commander of the EMP was removed and assumed political responsibility.”

To clarify some points, since “a lot of things are heard and said in this case, which leads to even more confusion”, Mr. Economou explained that these are two different cases: “We have a legal link to the prosecutor’s order through the institutional The National Intelligence Service operates on the phone of a politician, namely Mr. Androulakis, during his time as an MEP and candidate for the leadership of PASOK. This is done in a manner that regulates the operation of the EYP over time, with the approval of the prosecutor. This case has absolutely nothing to do with the entire discussion of the previous period and Mr. Androulakis’ first allegation of a predator and malware.

“The Greek government did not purchase or use this malware. We need to find out who is spying on Greek citizens with malware,” he said.

As for the distribution of responsibilities, Mr. Economou stressed that “the system is flawed, it fails and needs additional filters, but let’s not reset all this. We are completely open to suggestions.”

Regarding the resignation of Mr. Dimitriadis, he explained that “he did not know, but he resigned for political reasons”.

Regarding the possible surveillance of others, a government spokesman stated that “based on the information we have, the Prime Minister is not aware of any information about the surveillance of political figures. The answers will be given institutionally. We will also make changes to the institutional structure.”

Androulakis: Our country and its institutions do not deserve this downfall

“Three days after it became known that EYP was tracking my cell phone, at the same time as there was an attempt to intercept it and with Predator software that can videotape you 24 hours a day, the government flooded the public with vulgar leaks of dialogue,” PASOK Movement for Change President Nikos Androulakis said in a written statement yesterday.

As he pointed out, “unrealistic scenarios involving third countries are being circulated, which they asked me to control, bringing the country into the international arena. The ambassadors of Ukraine and Armenia publicly refuted them. At the same time, New Democracy leaders, in close cooperation with far-right groups, spread slander, proving their political depravity. It got to the point that the director of the press office of the ND publicly assessed the meetings of the EMP against me. Does he know the content of the observation?

“Our country and its institutions do not deserve this downfall, for which Mr. Mitsotakis bears full responsibility. Therefore, I reiterate the request that everything be disclosed openly and with respect for the rules of the Republic,” emphasized N. Androulakis and concluded his statement by emphasizing:

“Mr. Mitsotakis, who by his decision transferred the EMP to his direct and exclusive jurisdiction, changed the institutional framework to appoint his chosen one, Mr. Contoleon, has to give specific answers:

Why was I under surveillance?

“Who owns and on whose behalf are they using the Predator spy ‘supership’ in Greece at the expense of politicians and journalists to collect materials to blackmail people?”

Tsipras: Mr Mitsotakis should close the drain valve

For his part, Alexis Tsipras tweeted: “The targeted ‘leaks’ by the ND propaganda apparatus about Nikos Androulakis confirm our worst fears that the spies are connected to the Mafia. Mitsotakis must shut off the culvert before he himself drowns in it.”
