“The ridiculous excuses of Mr. Mitsotakis and his associates would be laughable if they weren’t really crying. They have reached the extreme point of self-humiliation,” said the SYRIZA press representative.
The press representative of SYRIZA, Nasos Iliopoulos, launches a harsh attack on the government for the case of the surveillance of Nikos Androulakis.
“At first it was leaked that they were monitoring a political leader for his relations with China. Then, that it was requested by the services of Armenia and Ukraine, only to be categorically denied and collect it one by one.
And now the representative of Mr. Mitsotakis has informed us that there is a plan of political anomaly and threat to the state, at the same time that government sources are officially leaking in today’s Financial Times report that Russia is behind everything.”
And Mr. Iliopoulos continues: “The ridiculous excuses of Mr. Mitsotakis and his associates would be laughable if they weren’t really crying. They have reached the extreme point of self-abasement, risking national diplomacy, just to cover their responsibilities behind so-called ‘national reasons’.”
“A threat to the rule of law and the functioning of the Republic is Mr. Mitsotakis himself and the parastatal he has set up to monitor MPs, MEPs and journalists. The question he will answer tomorrow is simple: Who and why? Getting rid of the Mitsotakis regime is today a democratic and patriotic duty,” concludes Mr. Iliopoulos.
Earlier, speaking to SKAI, Mr. Iliopoulos stated: “The responsibility for the wiretapping has a name, Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Where we have reached, the only solution is the elections”.
Asked about yesterday’s meeting of the Institutions and Transparency Committee in the Parliament and the aversion of the new EYP commander that “no one is exempt from surveillance”, Mr. Iliopoulos noted that “yesterday’s discussion comes after yesterday’s inability of Mr. Oikonomou to refute the Kathimerini report that seven political figures are being monitored”.
He added that “Mr. Economou said that the government and Mr. Mitsotakis do not know anything, so in reality what they are saying is that there are two scapegoats, the prime minister’s nephew, Mr. Dimitriadis and the former commander of the EYP and the , whatever else comes up we will throw it at them”.
