Economou on Spirtzis case: The government seeks the essence, SYRIZA the cheap spectacle

by

SYRIZA discovered and decided to report to the Justice Department an attempt to trap his mobile phone on the day the Prime Minister goes to Thessaloniki, commented the government representative.

Mr. Spirtzis did the right thing and resorted to the Justice and anyone who has similar suspicions should do the same, says the government representative, Yannis Oikonomou, in a statement, after the indictment filed today for the case.

Mr. Economou also notes that the government “has already started all the institutional procedures to investigate these issues over time and has made it clear that the Greek state did not procure and no government authority used and does not use such software”.

The entire announcement of Mr. Economos:

“By diabolical coincidence, on the day the Prime Minister goes to Thessaloniki for the TIF, Mr. Spirtzis discovered and decided to report to the Court an attempt to trap his mobile phone with malicious software. Yes…

The problem of mobile phone tracking malware has been present for at least 5 years, it is pan-European and global and we must collectively find effective countermeasures to this threat.

Mr. Spirtzis did well to resort to Justice and anyone who has similar suspicions needs to do the same.

The Government has already started all the institutional procedures to investigate these issues over time and has made it clear that the Greek state did not procure and no government authority used and does not use such software.

On the contrary, it has been committed, in the context of the more comprehensive actions by the E.U. to counter malicious software, which operates in a number of countries, violating the principle of privacy of communications.

Important clarification: the Government pursues the essence, o SYRIZA and its executives operate with communication and cheap spectacle in mind.”
