A little while ago, there was a telephone conversation between the Speaker of the Parliament, Anastasios Tassoulas, and Mr. Athanasiou.
What did X. Athanasiou say?
“Let’s suppose that a member of parliament who has a religious orientation completely different from the Orthodox… Let’s say a Muslim member of parliament from Northern Greece… I’m not saying that there is any threat to God… If we suppose that he gives some information to the neighboring country, where will the immigrants etc… Why shouldn’t it be controlled? National security comes first here. If there is the procedure that the legislator provides of course (to monitor the phones). What does the implementing, executive law of the Constitution say? What does our Constitution say in Article 19? It says verbatim: ‘law defines the guarantees under which the judicial authority is not bound by secrecy for reasons of national security’. That’s what the Constitution says.”
