“At some point the game and hide and seek with the institutions of the Republic comes to an end.

I came today to ADAE – Authority for Ensuring the Privacy of Communications and asked the President of the Authority, as the law stipulates, to have access as a political leader and leader of the official opposition to all provisions concerning political figures, ministers, MPs, MEPs, journalists , judges, but also leaders or officers of the armed forces, and have been signed in the last three years.

We will not play with the institutions of the country and the Republic. What’s more, we are not going to tolerate games with national security.”

The following is the letter submitted by the President of SYRIZA PS to the President of the Independent Authority.

TO THE PRESIDENT
OF PRIVACY PRIVACY OF COMMUNICATIONS
Athens, 7/12/2022
Subject: My further briefing as a political leader on removal cases
of privacy concerning political persons.
Dear Mr. President,
The Authority for Ensuring the Privacy of Communications (ADAE) has taken over as
independent authority ensuring the protection of the absolutely inviolable
of the privacy of communications (article 19 par. 2 Comp.), special expression
of which is the control of compliance with the conditions and procedure of
exception to its removal (Article 1 par. 1 Law 3115/2003).
Part of the same competence was the authority of the Authority to inform them
affected by the removal of privacy, in order for them to be able to appeal
in Justice and to bring legal remedies for its restoration
their damage. It is known that the government legislated the unacceptable and
unconstitutional provision that prevents this information and indeed
retroactively (Article 87 of Law 4790/2021). It thus imprisoned its political system
country in a chain of complaints and suspicions with no way out and no possibility
clarification regarding the proven and the alleged
tracking of politicians and public figures they had
relations with said political persons.
Historical reasons imposed as early as 1994, the year the law came into force.
2225/1994, to be assigned to the Authority the separate responsibility of informing the
political leaders of the parties of the Parliament for the provisions for its removal
privacy. Today, the legislator specifically mandates the President of ADAE
to inform in any case the President of the Parliament and their leaders
parties, represented in the Parliament, and to notify each provision to
Minister of Justice (article 5 par. 4 sub. f. law 2225/1994).
It is true that the legislator when he stressed the observance of the above did not
he could imagine that the declassification provisions would come up someday
in more than 15,000 (specifically 15,475 prosecutor’s offices in the year 2021). THE
management of this volume of prosecutorial provisions on behalf of the Authority and the
inconsistencies and delays to the government in their electronic transmission
reasonably led to the application of the provision in a manner differentiated in relation
with the intended, i.e. it took the form of general and abstract information of
political leaders through statistical reports and through the presentation of qualitative ones
sizes, etc.-something which, of course, as a goal is already covered by the annual report which
the Authority publishes in general and specifically sends to political parties.
During this period the disruption that political life in the country has suffered,
plunging daily deeper and deeper into the suspicion and fear of them
monitoring of political figures, who are thus prevented from exercising
free of their duties, imposes the restoration of the procedure
informing party leaders.
Realizing the difficulty of managing the volume of prosecutorial provisions,
I request that you inform me in detail about the content especially of
prosecutorial orders to declassify the communications they have
notified to the Authority by the competent services in the period between
July 2019 until today and possibly concern political persons, i.e. Art
active parliamentarians, MEPs and members of the government, as well as
journalists, judicial officials and the Chiefs of Armed Forces
Forces of the country.
In any case and as an alternative, in the event that it is not possible as
upper separation of prosecutorial provisions, as you proceed with its granting
of all the documents of the above time period.
