The bill for the EYP was passed by the competent committee of the Parliament

The processing of the Ministry of Justice’s bill entitled “Procedure for lifting the privacy of communications, cyber security and protection of citizens’ personal data” was completed on Tuesday and in a second reading, in the competent committee of the Parliament.

The ND was in favor of the principle of the bill, while all opposition parties voted againstexcept for the Greek Solution which was reserved for the plenary debate.

The Minister of Justice, Kostas Tsiaras he assured that serious and realistic proposals of organizations and parties have been taken into account, and in the discussion of the bill in the plenary session of the Parliament, improving changes will be submitted.

Mr. Tsiaras rejected the objections of the opposition that citizens’ rights are not protected, arguing that “the government is making a continuous effort to fully ensure them” and added that “at the moment there are more than 10 national action plans running concerning citizens’ rights”.

“This is a reality that I don’t think anyone can dispute. And if we really here in the Greek Parliament believe that Greece is in the same category as Iran, or these countries that we know have an issue in terms of supporting human rights and are making a very big effort to move in the direction of both democratization, but also the safeguarding of human rights, obviously they are not following the reality”, noted Mr. Tsiaras.

“We listened to the agencies and the parties, we recorded their proposals and ideas. However, this discussion must take place under the basic assumption that EYP is needed. And the question that arises is whether we should remove weapons and capabilities from our country to deal with national risks, to deal with crises and to deal with issues that we know very well should be in a completely different way of dealing with,” he stressed. the Minister of Justice and concluded:

“I assure you that we will take into account many of the comments that have been made and there are already some legislative improvements that will be announced very soon.”

“The bill does not aim at transparency, improving operations, accountability, respect for the rule of law, rights. Nor of course has he come to the Parliament to help improve the efficiency of the EYP, nor much more to protect democracy from malicious third parties, since it has emerged in recent months that the malicious third party in this case is the government itself” , objected for his part, the general rapporteur of SYRIZA, Dimitris Tzanakopoulos.

“We have no need to waste even a single word in front of an enlightened government and its followers, eminent scientists. We will meet in the plenary”, was the only mocking comment made by the general rapporteur of PASOK-KINAL, Haris Kastanidis.

“Through and through this process, the government is attempting to completely cover up its responsibilities for the wiretapping scandal. It really seems that she is taking her measures so that there is not the slightest possibility of coming to the surface, even a part of the rabid operation of the EYP and other similar mechanisms”, asserted the special buyer of the KKE, Maria Komninaka.

The specialist buyer of the Greek Solution, Antonis Mylonakis, he focused his comments on publications that talk about the monitoring of the head of GEETHA by the EYP, noting that everything that sees the light of day is impermissible and all parties must cooperate in order to become a functional and effective body that will be dedicated to protection of the country’s national security, which faces great risks.

The special buyer of MeRA25 emphasized the protection of human rights, Sofia Sakorafa, stressing that “the National Commission for Human Rights clearly says that the bill does not respond to essential and critical issues of protection of individual rights, nor does it respect the constitutional competence of the Human Rights Council as an institution guaranteeing a fundamental right”.

“The Ministry of Justice took into account the comments made publicly and supplemented, corrected or better edited some doctrinal and substantive aspects of the bill in percentage, in some chapters up to 50% and 70%. And of course the minister states that he is open to proposals that have a serious documentation base to correct, even at the end, some points that need further improvements” pointed out the general rapporteur of the ND, Euripides Stylianides.

“It is a complete, but still incomplete legislative initiative, due to dynamic developments, which will have to be supplemented possibly by other actions in the future, however, it lays a very strong foundation, on which we can build something innovative”, he clarified.
