He prepared him for the election SYRIZA-PSparty chairman, Alexis Tsipras speaking at the Political Secretariat, as he appreciated that the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis under the pressure of the wiretapping case, but also the difficult economic situation, he is considering changing suffrageto appeal the election before sending the following budget.

Starting his speech, he mentioned the possibility of early elections and expressed his confidence that SYRIZA will win. He characteristically said: “The pre-election period has already begun, so the party must be in constant pre-election readiness. When the elections will take place, especially after the recent events, is unknown. The only condition is that it will be a tough battle in which we have every chance to win.”

He then launched a sharp personal attack on the prime minister, accusing him of wiretap intent: “The ND government and personally Mr. Mitsotakis are now deeply hurt by the wiretapping case. The matter has depth and will not be erased or forgotten. Because we are not talking about some random incidents, but about a management model. Mr. Mitsotakis did not make a single mistake or failure. This is how he ruled. The Mitsotakis system listened to whoever it wanted, who it wanted, when it wanted.. Not only since he took office. And the scale of eavesdropping is so great, especially with the use of modern and illegal surveillance software, that there is no doubt that it will continue.”

He further argued that “the refusal to repeal the Anti-Corruption Commission Paralysis Amendment, the refusal to provide all phone numbers of MPs and MEPs to verify the possibility of their contractual monitoring, and the call for confidentiality to the Committee on Institutions and Transparency to keep everyone in the dark, they are absolute proof of the guilt of Mr. Mitsotakis. In any case, this case is a major trauma in the functioning of the state and suggests that Mr. Mitsotakis, as the main responsible and moral author of this diversion, is now the outgoing prime minister.”
