Intervention to the PEGA committee representing the Eurogroup of Socialists and Democrats, he did earlier the President of PASOK-Movement for Change, Nikos Androulakis, during the hearing of the Head of the Communications Privacy Assurance Authority, Christos Rammosand the Head of the Personal Data Protection Authority, Konstantinou Menoudakou.

Nikos Androulakis preliminarily noted the contribution of the committee and the services of the European Parliament in revealing the truth and criticized the Government and the Prime Minister.

“The goal of the Mitsotakis government from the beginning was to cover up the parastatal it created. And this is proven by two facts: First, after the Koukakis surveillance it becomes a law, which prohibits informing the victims that nothing has been found with their surveillance. After the revelation of my own affair – that is, the predator attempt and the tracking of my mobile phone – even though the government said it wanted light and transparency, it passed a law allowing information, in some cases, three years later. So, after the national elections. This proves that the objective is to cover up and not to reveal the culprits of this parastatal apparatus.”

“In any European country where the rule of law functions properly, Mr. Dimitriadis, the nephew of the Prime Minister, the prosecutor Mrs. Vlachou and the then commander of the EYP, Mr. Kontoleon, would have been called to justice. It is obvious that after this flagrant violation of human rights and the Constitution, not even Mr. Mitsotakis could stand as Prime Minister”he added.

“Instead, however, what we are living through is the incredible reaction of an establishment philosophy. So, instead of exposing the guilty and bringing them to justice, the victims and the childless judges who try to find and publicize what has happened in this case, become targets of moral discredit and political extermination.”Mr. Androulakis continued.

And he clarified: “Mr. Rammos was targeted throughout the previous period by specific media and government ministers, because he is doing his job.”

“Do you personally know why I am here today? Because in a short time the JURI committee, the legal affairs committee, is judging with my application from November whether my immunity has been violated by the hacking of my mobile phone. For a month and a half now, mass media – which mainly support the government – ​​have been showing this legal move of mine that it is being done – as they say – because I am afraid that my immunity will be lifted by the European Parliament. Bringing up again what they said months ago about the reasons for watching me, that I am an agent of foreign powers of China, Russia, Turkey and all this nonsense to cover the parastate they themselves created. In a short time from now, the JURI committee is judging the violation of my immunity, not the protection of my immunity” said Mr Androulakis, calling on those who peddled conspiracy scenarios in the public sphere in the past few days to apologise.

Commenting on the remark of the Head of the Anti-Corruption Commission on the result of the Authority’s investigation regarding the sender of the text message, which attempted to trap Mr. Androulakis’s mobile phone, the President of PASOK-Movement for Change stated:

“Mr. Rammos said that the account that paid for the message has been found and the information for sending the trap message to my cell phone has been given to the Justice Department. When was this evidence given to the Court? Let’s also see the pace at which the Greek Justice moves. Because we finally have to evaluate this too after eight months. Shouldn’t we, once this information is given, find out who the account owner is that was sending all these messages, trying to trap people with this spy superweapon that was operating in our country, the Predator?

And, again, I want to thank you very much, Mr. Menudakos and Mr. Rammos, because your efforts are what keep the prestige of the country’s justice system* and I am really very happy that even in this way – outside of our country – I was given the opportunity to address you. Again, thank you very much.”
