“The government of Mr. Mitsotakis will come to the Parliament apologizing for the illegal surveillance of citizens and politicians”, declares in an on camera statement the press representative of SYRIZA-P.S. Nasos Iliopoulos following the amendment tabled by the official opposition party “to repeal the provision that does not allow citizens to be informed in relation to surveillance they have undergone”.
Here is the full statement:
“The European Parliament confirmed the surveillance of a political leader.
ND MP Mr. Papadimitriou considers it self-evident that the political leaders are being watched even by foreign forces as if the country were an unripe vine.
Mr. Mitsotakis reacts with a huge and culpable delay, after the request of the SYRIZA PS for an extraordinary convening of the Institutions and Transparency Committee. We have known for months that journalist Thanasis Koukakis was being monitored with Predator software.
The government of Mr. Mitsotakis will apologize to the Parliament for the illegal surveillance of citizens and politicians. We are waiting for the government and the other parties to vote for the amendment submitted today by SYRIZA PS in order to abolish the provision that does not allow citizens to be informed about the surveillance they have undergone”.
