PASOK President Continues Institutional Interventions Nikos Androulakis move in case wiretappingseeking to increase pressure on government using all available legal and institutional instruments. Thus, yesterday Mr. Androulakis testified in State Council (State Council) motion to declare unconstitutional a provision prohibiting ADAE inform those under surveillance National Intelligence Service (NIS).

He is demanding that the provision preventing ADAE from informing those under EYP surveillance be declared unconstitutional.

The PASOK president took this step after ADAE denied a request he filed asking for information about his monitoring by EYP. Now, with the application for annulment, Mr. Androulakis asks for recognition that the provision of Law 4790/2021, which prohibits the disclosure of surveillance on grounds of national security, is contrary to the Constitution, the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the EU. Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Mr. Androulakis emphasized in his statements that this provision should have been repealed since the beginning of August, when it became known that his phone was being tapped by the EMP. “The government had the opportunity to do this in its act on the legislative content of the reform of the EYP operational structure. He didn’t. He had the opportunity to accept the corresponding amendment submitted by PASOK – Movement for Change on September 29, 2022. He dodged her again. Finally, this aspect of the case also falls into the hands of the judge, so that the validity of the impugned provision can be judged.” The PASOK President once again accused the government of using secrecy to cover “and create islands of lawlessness in the functioning of the state, which is not understood in modern European democracy,” he added.
