“An investigation into the work of surveillance software on the territory of Greece in all aspects and manifestations has already begun by Greek justice with the assistance of state authorities. At the same time, the government comes up with legislative initiatives aimed at a radical solution to the problem, from the very beginning clearly declaring its immutable will to fully clarify the facts and tacitly punish both those involved and those who spread false and slanderous information. claims,” ​​said Yannis Oikonomou, commenting on an article by the Documento newspaper that refers to surveillance of politicians and others.

A government spokesman added: “Feeding public opinion with many publications and even in parts that are based on unsubstantiated claims and made-up narratives, without any substantive evidence, obscures and does not enlighten. Especially when the raw material for these publications is material obtained from unknown non-transparent sources. Material very useful for writing spy novels, in which Mr. Vaksevanis has recently specialized, but completely unsuitable for investigating the sides of the case.

“Moreover, it is paranoid to say the least to blame the government when it appears to be the target of surveillance software, while at the same time several oppositionists are allegedly being monitored. Based on the reports, the government seems to have been the main target of the dark circles running this software. The government approaches this issue with the utmost formality and seriousness, so that the truth shines through, order is ensured and national interests are protected. The plan to drain the government of the tons of politically toxic filth that Tsipras is investing in to get out of the political quagmire is once again falling flat. After all, the one who takes up the dirt to throw it out gets dirty first,” the government spokesman concluded.
