Ahtsioglou: The government serves the law of silence and cover-up

At the same time, Mrs. Ahtsioglou pointed out that “it is the responsibility of every ND minister and politician to take a clear position, silence is not justified. It gives a negative impression that a large part of the right-wing faction admits to getting behind this stinking case that has Mr. Mitsotakis as its obvious leader.”

“The government no longer seems to be bound by any Constitution and any democratic authority. It only serves the law of silence and cover-up,” said Efi Ahtsioglou to “Kokkino 105.5”.

Regarding yesterday’s meeting of the Committee on Institutions and Transparency, and what the reports reveal, Mrs. Ahtsioglou emphasized: “First, it is a blatantly unconstitutional action to invoke confidentiality for those who come to be examined by the Committee. This is practically equivalent to canceling the ability to control the EYP provided for by the Constitution.

Second, there are also criminal responsibilities here that should be investigated, because the rules of the House themselves prohibit the invocation of confidentiality for government officials who go to the Institutions and Transparency Committee to testify. This invocation of privacy amounts to perjury. Thirdly, a generalized and coordinated operation to cover up the government surveillance scandal is developing every day.”

At the same time, he added, “the government is not just illegal but attempts to legalize its illegalities and that is a bigger problem. Mr. Mitsotakis in the recent Council of Ministers and also in the Parliament supported extremely dangerous positions for democracy. He said that no one is exempt, that potentially all citizens and all political figures are being monitored, using a completely simplistic position on equality.

The second is the invocation of the internal enemy, that anyone who attempts to clarify a case of violation of democracy is serving foreign forces. The third issue concerns the position that the EYP is a mechanism that operates uncontrollably without informing anyone. Apart from the fact that this is absolutely false, it is also extremely dangerous, because it legitimizes the operation of a parastatal mechanism”.

At the same time, Mrs. Ahtsioglou pointed out that “it is the responsibility of every ND minister and politician to take a clear position, silence is not justified. It gives a negative impression that a large part of the right-wing faction admits to getting behind this stinking case that has Mr. Mitsotakis as its obvious leader.”

On the issue of accuracy, he emphasized, among other things, that “the government insists on not interfering with the root of the problem, the energy exchange, the apparent profiteering and the accumulated excess profits, it allows them to perpetuate unchecked and subsidizes energy producers with money from the citizens’ multiple taxes because of the accuracy, without reducing the bills. We have a double looting of the citizens’ income instead of putting a ceiling on the prices and seriously taxing the super profits that should not have accumulated”.
