With the “presence” of the ruling majority and the positive vote of all opposition parties, the national delegation decided to accept his request. PASOK for recommendation examination board regarding cases monitoring.

Of particular interest, which has arisen in connection with the development of yesterday’s parliamentary procedure, is that this committee will not limit itself to considering only cases concerning the current situation in relation to Mr. N. Androulakisjournalist At. Koukakis, and the illegal Predator software, as well as reported cases of “hearing” — surveillance in the call center of the KKE offices in Perissos since 2016. This fact implies that the investigation will also cover the reign of SYRIZA-ANEL. On the contrary, in the well-known position of N.D. to extend the investigation for 10 years, with PASOK and KKE reiterating that such an extension could only be made if the ruling party provided concrete and documented evidence to substantiate the request. However, on behalf of MeRA25, Ms. Sophia Sacoraffa stressed that her party would demand an investigation even earlier, namely from 2005: “We set 2005 as the limit, because since then there is a documented publication of monitoring by the then Greek Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis” .

With regard to the question of the time frame of the investigation, which was originally decided yesterday, i.e. also for the period of the previous government, the fact did not go unnoticed yesterday that, apart from a brief note by Mr. G. Raguzis, none of the Deputies mentioned in specific cases. In his speech, Governor K.E. KKE Dim. Koutsoubas further commented: “Of course, we have to say that it is surprising that even in the recent debates at the level of political leaders in Parliament, not a single word was heard from either Mr. Mitsotakis or Mr. Tsipras. They didn’t even agree.”

The Committee will investigate not only the cases of Androulakis and Koukakis, but also complaints about surveillance of KKE offices in 2016 during the reign of SYRIZA-ANEL.

From the very beginning, N.D. through the rapporteur, Ms. D. Kairides, and then through the representative of the parliament, I. Vrutsis, explained that the choice of “present” was not because he did not agree with the investigation of all cases, but because he did not agree with how PASOK an offer that was ultimately rejected as expected. “We are voting in favor of those present, facilitating the creation of the committee proposed by PASOK, without, of course, accepting the rationale behind the PASOK proposal,” said Mr. Kairidis. Let us recall that in its written request the party of Mr. Androulakis, among other things, mentions that “the responsibility of the Prime Minister is given, not diminished and not transferable”.

Like Friday’s discussion of political leaders, there were also moments of great sourness yesterday. Mr Chr. Spircis said, among other things, “Our parents, our grandparents raised us with their experiences of surveillance, stalking, harassment and intimidation.” Later, the parliamentary representative MeRA25 Cl. Grigoriadis was forced, following the intervention of then-president Sophia Sakorafa, to withdraw the offensive description (“humiliated”) he had used of the prime minister.

As announced at the end of the process, the commission of inquiry to be established will consist of 29 members in proportion to the strength of the parties and will be given a one-month time limit to present its opinion. We remind you that the members of the commission, if necessary, can apply for an extension of the term of its work.

It is noteworthy, however, that Mr. Tasoulas, after the phenomenon of leaks from the recent meeting of the same committee on the EYP, stated that tomorrow, Wednesday, during the conference of presidents, this will be agreed “in deeds, not in words.” “How to protect” such serious meetings from the phenomena that have been observed recently and which are not approved. “Recall that PASOK asked at the said meeting to call key figures as witnesses, including the current and former commander of EEM and the former governor. Prime Minister Minister Mr. Dimitriadis.
