In the framework of the examination that will be set up, people will be heard about cases of the past, the government representative said.
The government representative, Yiannis Oikonomou, made an extensive reference to the issue of telephone surveillance today. when informing political editors.
He made it clear that the prime minister and the government want “a full investigation into the connection of the PASOK president’s phone and an investigation into the existence of other software within the territory. The government wants everything to be investigated over time and we say ‘yes’. But there is no evaluation of the specific individual incident, without researching the systemic and long-term pathogenesis”.
Mr. Economou made it clear that the research must be done over time, not to have a logic of compensation, but to draw safer conclusions and find filters, so that such phenomena do not occur in the future.
To a question whether New Democracy will support the proposal submitted by PASOK or submit its own (with time limits explored), Mr. Economou replied that the government intends to honor the opportunity it gave the parliamentary minority to be able to set up an investigative committee and will not trivialize it with parallel requests.
However, he added that in the context of the examination that will be set up, it will be possible, through the list compiled, to listen to people (eg former administrators of the EYP) about cases of the past: “What we want are filters for the better functioning of the services and for there to be no failures. Obviously, the recent incident highlighted weaknesses and that is why the government insists on gathering experiences from those who have managed incidents from these positions in the past so that we do not have similar incidents.”
Mr. Economou repeatedly emphasized that the government will act institutionally and not based on party interest.
He pointed out, in response to a related question, that the prime minister and the government are not aware of any other legal connection of a political person.
When asked how the government sees failures on the part of the services, but characterizes the connection of the Androulakis mobile phone as legal, Mr. Oikonomou replied that the judicial official ruled within the framework of the law, which is why the connection was legal. If anyone disagrees, he added, let them go to court.
“The prime minister made it clear that if he had known, the development would have been different,” he noted.
