What does this mean; How, apart from MeRA25, the other forces of the Parliament have the possibility, in theory, to request the formation of an Inquiry Committee. It is a given that the majority of 120 MPs, required in the Plenary, exists since all the parties are in agreement.

It is most likely on August 24 or 25 that the before daily discussion requested by Alexis Tsipras.

There have not yet been any agreements between the parties on how to proceed with regard to the Commission of Inquiry. They certainly want to see what will be the developments in the case of EYP monitoring in the coming days. At Charilaou Trikoupi, according to information, have decided with the opening of the Parliament to proceed with the submission of the proposal without concern what the other parties will do. It is clear that in addition to monitoring his cell phone Nikos Androulakisthe focus of the proposal will be Predator software, the companies allegedly related to it, who used it, but also the extensions that exist in the journalistic space.
It is also open to him SYRIZA to file the his own proposal for the establishment of a Commission of Inquiry. Top party sources emphasized that “all parliamentary control tools are being considered” and they made it clear that no channel is currently open with PASOK on the issue. They explain that they will decide how to proceed after the Parliament opens, the Institutions and Transparency Committee meets and the pre-day debate takes place in the Parliament in order to see the dispositions of the parties. In the official opposition they wouldn’t say no to collusion with Harilaou Trikoupi, as such a move would symbolize the strong opposition front that is forming against Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Regarding the SW it is said that the Commission of Inquiry wants to investigate what happened to the EYP over a decade. This results from the statements of leading executives that recall the statements of Panagiotis Lafazanis and Yanis Varoufakis that their phones were monitored when they were ministers. It is recalled that the journalist Tasos Telloglou had also spoken about surveillance of Kyriakos Mitsotakis when he was leader of the official opposition.
Conflict for the EYP
The conflict between the parties is expected to continue in very high tones as the opening of the Parliament approaches. Yesterday, the focus was on how the EYP will operate from now on. Professor of Constitutional Law, Akritas Kaidatzisagainst the background of the surveillance case, he said. “And the most well-intentioned realizes that the next government will have to abolish the EYP and establish a new intelligence agency. And after all its organizational positions are abolished together, its employees will not be protected by tenure and can be fired.” wrote the former secretary of the SYRIZA government. The publication was commented on by Pavlos Polakis: “I sign, Professor of Constitutional Law!”. This position provoked her reaction SW: “In SYRIZA, they have already begun the “specialization” of the strategy that Mr. Tsipras unfolded in his article in EfSyn entitled: “The mere change in power is not enough”. An article that came simply to complement, underline and confirm corresponding earlier his statements about controlling the joints of power and the like”.
