Using very high tones and harsh language, speaking of a “criminal act” and characterizing the prime minister as “the accused”, Alexis Tsipras tried to make it clear to the ruling faction that not only would the surveillance case not get out of hand the news, but it had other tails. He specifically spoke about the new “factory”, which will be opened on the terms of contracts and expenses of the Ministry of Finance. “Mr. Androulakis, Mr. Mitsotakis, neither your nephew nor your chosen EMP commander decided to follow him. You gave the order to follow him,” he said. Wishing to argue the expediency of the prime minister’s actions, he added that “you wanted to have complete control over events in a third party, to ensure political events, taking into account the new electoral law, a simple proportionality that requires the cooperation of the government.”

President SYRIZA wants to polarize the climate by trying to prove that Kyriakos Mitsotakis was in complete coordination with Grigoris Dimitriadis. Continuing his personal attack, he said, “Let’s acknowledge your limited ability to perceive. Why, you are the one who claims that you are so irresponsible and so inadequate that even your closest collaborator, even your closest relative, acted in such serious cases without your knowledge.

Kumunduru believes that the “political loneliness” of the prime minister manifested itself in parliament when he was opposed by progressive parties. He most insistently demanded the resignation of the government, promising “an inexorable institutional struggle for the defense of democracy”, predicting that surveillance of Androulakis, Koukakis were the tops of a methodically fine-tuned mechanism.

Alexis Tsipras presented SYRIZA’s proposals for reforming EYP’s operational structure:

The President of SYRIZA raised his tone to the Prime Minister, declaring a “criminal act”.

• Immediate repeal of the law that prohibited the disclosure of declassified EMP on grounds of “national security”.

• Legislative definition of the concept of “national security”.

• Approval of the monitoring should not be carried out by an official of the Prosecutor’s Office and truly “affiliated” with the EEM, but by senior judicial officials familiar with the control of the legality of administrative actions.

• Selection of the EYP Commander through a process that will substantially involve the Committee on Institutions and Transparency and ADAE.

• Oversight of the EYP Institutions and Transparency Committee, without the ability to object to any confidentiality related to its expenses and contracts.
