Many episodes are still expected to be written in their “serial”. monitoring of the EYP until the Parliament is opened and the Examination Committee. The ND is trying to remain unscathed from the political ordeal it has found itself in, for SYRIZA to gain electoral ground and to lead an opposition front and for PASOK, as directly involved in the case, to have the initiative of the movements. What is certain is that after the three days of the fifteenth of August, and more specifically from next Tuesday, all executives will be in their offices in order to draw up the strategy they will follow. After all, the countdown to September’s TIF will also begin.
Daily developments constantly give the parties more fodder for new conflicts. After his deposition Tasos Telloglou from the ND reminded that the journalist “he repeated the information about the monitoring of Mr. Mitsotakis’ phone as well as other phones, in 2017-2018. He said exactly the same thing in his post a few days ago. He must provide specific information to the Prosecutor of the Supreme Court to whom he testified today”. From the blue faction they emphasize that they do not intend to offset the assumptionss, however, it is clear that they have acquired an additional “weapon” to repel the attacks of SYRIZA and PASOK. Along with the institutional changes that are being promoted, of course. Maximou declares that there will now be more safeguards for the operation of the EYP.
In the official opposition, they harden their line every day. “The surveillance was done by order of Mitsotakis”emphasize trying daily to isolate the government from the other parties of the progressive arc. They insist, among other things, that the amendment that does not allow ADAE to inform citizens about the lifting of the confidentiality of their communication should be repealed.
From Wednesday o Nikos Androulakis opened the issue emphasizing that by following him he was targeted not only himself but the entire PASOK. And for those who wonder “when will he cross the Rubicon” and call for elections, the head of Harilaou Trikoupi has already shown the “exit door” to Kyriakos Mitsotakis with his announcement yesterday. It does not seem, however, that in the green camp there is a common line on this specific issue. Andreas Loverdos, when asked by the Thessaloniki radio station “Status 107.7” if the discussion about wiretapping is a reason to set up early elections, answered “obviously not”, adding that “the country goes to elections for other reasons. But it is a serious matter democracy”. Pavlos Geroulanos, in an interview he gave to the “libre” website, appeared on another line: “If Mitsotakis means the apology he shouted to go to the elections without being a candidate,” he said characteristically.
In this climate, there is no shortage of bevels. THE Charalambos Athanasiou with what he said in a television interview, he appeared to be in favor of monitoring parliamentarians for reasons of national interest, giving as an example his Muslim colleagues. The collective condemnation of the statements of the vice-president of the Parliament and the request for his dismissal by the opposition parties led him to a corrective statement: “Because there have been misinterpretations of what I said in my interview, I emphasize that I never questioned the patriotism of my fellow MPs regardless of religion. This does not follow from a careful reading of my entire position. What I clearly analyzed was my scientific opinion, for the removal of privacy in matters of national security protection”, he said characteristically.
What are all the powers waiting for now? Them first polls which will be made public at the end of the summer since the “people’s bathrooms” do not allow reliable rolling measurements to be carried out.
