After yesterday’s conference of presidents, which decided on the schedule of meetings – parliament and committee on institutions and transparency – on the issue of monitoring, the government has focused on discussing the creation of a commission of inquiry and especially on the timing. what it will check. The desire of the majority to go for expansion is a given – unlike SYRIZA and PASOK – but at the same time, the risk of holding two examinations is real, since, as you know, a minority can, after a proposal is made by ten deputies, and a majority in 2/5, i.e. 120 deputies, to submit their own examination work. The government in no way wants us to have a travesty of two commissions of inquiry, as it goes against the central line that “everything in the world,” so there’s not a shadow left in this stinking surveillance. Therefore, according to K, in Maximos they are looking for ways to pass a single exam. The corresponding debate will take place at the plenary session next Monday.

Government officials are hinting that the establishment of a second commission of inquiry is not being considered.

One idea is for the government to accept PASOK’s proposal and in the process “expand from within,” as N.D. will have the majority. Therefore, if he decides, he has the opportunity to invite people for the period 2012-2018 to the survey and thus the “expansion” will be de facto. An informal briefing on the establishment of the Commission of Inquiry pointed in the same direction, stating that “it would be good to have the consent of the political forces”, since “in parallel with the investigation of the case at hand, the commission of inquiry should also study how the security services operate over time, to deal with chronic pathologies and formulate suggestions for improvement for the future.” Characteristic, however, is the phrase in the same note, which states that the government is in favor of an investigation into the connection of the telephone of PASOK President Nikos Androulakis, “in the context provided for by law and by regulation of Parliament.” Finally, a fight erupted between Alexis Tsipras and Yiannis Oikonomu over a New York Times article referring to “rot in the heart of Greece.” Mr. Tsipras argued that the Mitsotakis government was dragging the country along, and the government spokesman replied that the article was the opinion of a columnist and did not reflect the opinion of the newspaper.
