In particular, Mr. Tsipras in your social media post stated:

“The wiretapping lie until they could no longer deny the irrefutable. Lies about the “damned Euros”, who declared them non-existent even in institutional updates, while they were dying for days on an island in the river.

Lies even about a dead five-year-old who helplessly expired and was buried by his helpless mother. They run lies, controlled information and illegal surveillance. But then the borders could not “control” them. And today there is not a single apology, no remorse, no hint of sensitivity and humanity. Even the words have lost their meaning.”
