The Speaker of Parliament raised the issue of “self-defence of the process”. Costas Tassoulasduring today’s conference of the Presidents of Parliament, which considered the organization of tomorrow’s secret meeting of the Committee on Institutions and Transparency in the case of surveillance.

As Mr. Tasulas told the parliamentary editorial staff, he asked the representatives of the party to help us, so that there would be no phenomena of direct transmission of the secret process.

As for the process itself, Mr. Tasoulas said that it was about rumor (about guests) which, in essence, constitutes parliamentary control, and that the Commission does not act as a prosecutor of first instance. He also noted that all those present at the closed session will come out together and that they will speak/ask questions in turn.
