With your meetings Committee on Institutions and Transparency today, and the Commission of Inquiry, scheduled for next Monday, 5 September, formally opens the cycle of Parliamentary Inquiry Procedures case of monitoringwith the political scene constantly on the path of collision.

The mood of both sides is evidenced by the fact that government cites information that speaks of spying on government ministers of SYRIZA-ANEL in the previous period, while opposition – especially the officer – is already loudly questioning the government’s intentions regarding the announced parliamentary inquiry.

Yesterday she was visited by the President of SYRIZA ADAE and among other things he stated: “I asked the President of the Office, Mr. Chr. Rammo conduct an investigation and answer whether and how many political figures were put into legal bond. On this occasion, he actually requested the cooperation of Mr. Rammos with Mr. K. Tasoula. “Mr. Tsipras solves the problem in terms of light entertainment, using fiction and sky-high inaccuracies. The President of ADAE will be (today) in Parliament, and the appropriate answers will be given there within the framework of institutional procedures,” commented government spokesman G. Economou and, among other things, added: “As for the information that is finally visible in broad daylight, about spying on the phones of government officials during his premiership, he remains silent. However, he will be forced to be placed alone.”

Today, from Dimitriadis, Rammos, the current and former commander of the EMP, the Government asks for clarifications on publications about surveillance of SYRIZA.

Yesterday at the conference of presidents there was a broad discussion of the modalities and confidentiality of today’s meeting of the Committee on Institutions and Transparency, to which key persons in the role of the EPM from the time of the Samaras-Venizelos government to the present day were invited: the former secretary of the prime minister Mr. Dimitriadismr. Rammosthe applicants’ lawyers Vas.Vlakhov as well as C. Cavelascurrent, past and former EYP administrators Them. Demiris, P. Contoleon, G. Rubatis and T. Dravillas. The Minister of State will also attend G. Herapetrite.

The blue majority’s choice to have all nine present at the meeting at the same time and not follow the method of hearing them separately caused an uproar. “Obviously, the parliamentary majority seeks to avoid control over the truth and prevent meaningful investigation and constructive discussion,” said Mr. G. Katrugalos (SYRIZA). Ms. Ev. Lakulis (PASOK). The KKE, through Mr. N. Karatanasopoulos, demanded full publicity at the meetings.

As mentioned above, the issue of confidentiality regarding the content of today’s meeting is also a thorn in the side. There has been a proposal from the Speaker of Parliament to keep the mobile phones of committee members away from the room so that, among other things, the recent phenomenon of leaking information about what National Intelligence says and about it, the service is not repeated. However, the argument was persistently put forward by the opposition that there would be parts of the discussion that would not be state secrets and should be made public.

Finally, until yesterday evening, only SYRIZA notified its deputies who would be part of the investigative committee. They are: D. Tzanakopoulos, N. Vutsi, T. Eleftheriadou, G. Katrugalos, G. Ragusis, T. Tsakri, Eng. Tolka and N. Fili.
