Fire in the political scene put the resignations of the general secretary of the prime minister Grigori Dimitriadis and its Commander EYP Panagiotis Kontoleontos, as an “antidote” to the political toxicity prevailing in the political scene, according to Megaros Maximos. At a time when the opposition is targeting the prime minister himself
According to government sources, the resignation of Mr. Dimitriadis, which was accepted by the Prime Minister, it has nothing to do with Predator, noting that “in a climate of toxicity, things would be extremely dysfunctional both for the government and for Mr. Dimitriadis himself. In this context, in consultation with the prime minister, he submitted his resignation. According to the same sources, Mr. Dimitriadis “resigned because for six years alongside the prime minister he received many attacks, aimed at Kyriakos Mitsotakis himself” and as they explain “with his move he chooses to protect the Prime Minister, he does not want to create additional problems.” In fact, they note that “these seats are known to be electric chairs”.
Shortly after the resignation of Grigoris Dimitriadis, the resignation of the Commander of the National Intelligence Service, Panagiotis Condoleontos, followed, which was also accepted by the Prime Minister and in a statement issued it is stated that “The Commander of the National Intelligence Service, Panagiotis Kontoleon, submitted his resignation to the Prime Minister, following wrong actions found in the process of legal connections. Resignation accepted.”
Sources of SKAI explained that the case concerns a case of surveillance of a person for whom, as they said, due information had not been provided to the Maximos Palace.
At the same time, the process of succeeding Mr. Konteleontos is underway and the new Commander of the EYP is being taken over by the current Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Themistoklis Demiris. Mr. Demiris will inform the Committee on Institutions and Transparency after the restart of the work of the Parliament.
Tsipras: Mitsotakis plea of ​​guilty
Asked about the resignation of the Prime Minister’s Secretary, Mr. Grigoris Dimitriadis, Alexis Tsipras targeted the Prime Minister himself, stating that “The resignation of the Prime Minister’s General Secretary under the weight of the revelations about the surveillance scandal is an admission of guilt. And in any case, it does not negate the responsibilities of the Prime Minister himself, on the contrary, he confirms them.
So at some point he must give explanations to the Greek people. Because this is not a simple question, it is a question of Democracy. And no matter how much it has attempted these days with the help of the Media that has the 108th place in the world to hide a big scandal, this issue precisely because it is a matter of Democracy will not remain in the dark. Everything will come to light,” said the official opposition leader.
PASOK-KINAL: We are not concerned with Mr. Mitsotakis’ decompression valves
With the news of the resignations, Charilaou Trikoupi sources stated that “We are not concerned with Mr. Mitsotakis’ relief valves” and insist on the need “to shed light on this morbid case of the attempt to trap the mobile phone of the President of the third parliamentary party and of Predator’s action in Greece, which undermines the orderly functioning of the democratic state”. The issue is expected to raise even more after the developments, the president of PASOK-KINAL, who will present himself in detail while already the head of the Parliamentary Group of PASOK-KINAL, Michalis Katrinis, comments on the developments with his post, writing that “From today, the prime minister’s polar responsibilities are a given.”
KKE: Dimitriadis in the role of “Iphigenia”.
The KKE once again insists on the need to investigate the complaints about surveillance, considering that “The resignations of the General Secretary of the Prime Minister and the Commander of the EYP neither cancel the responsibilities of the Prime Minister, to whom the above persons were directly accountable, nor do they negate the necessity to investigate in depth the complaints about the surveillances. Much more so since the resignations themselves raise new big questions. After all, the institutional framework that facilitates such practices is a political issue, which goes beyond the different persons who assume the role of “Iphigenia” to hide the basic political responsibilities”.
