The PASOK-Movement for Change denied with a statement from the party’s press office today’s front-page publication of the Documento newspaper, which claims that the party’s president, Nikos Androulakis, was being monitored by the EYP because he had meetings with executives of the Huawei company.

The announcement of PASOK-KINAL states:

“Today’s publication of the newspaper “Documento” fully adopts, and with a delay of one year, the arguments of New Democracy regarding the wiretapping scandal against the president of PASOK-Movement of Change. As we did from the first moment by appealing to justice and exposing the wiretapping scandal against the New Democracy parastate, so we will do today for all the atrocities.

The president of PASOK – Movement for Change has never met with an official of this particular Chinese company. Also, as a member of the European Parliament, he has voted in favor of related resolutions concerning the violation of human rights by China, as well as the Parliament’s opposition to the ratification of a trade agreement with this country due to sanctions that had been imposed on MEPs, as opposed to the representatives of SYRIZA and to some cases of New Democracy as well.” Is it a coincidence that the said front page is published two days after the agreement of Mr. Mitsotakis-Velopoulou should the ADAE be beaten before considering the imposition of a fine on the EYP for not presenting data to the independent authority regarding the illegal surveillance of Mr. Androulakis? We are not surprised by all this, because their reliability was and is at its nadir. We will not forget that this particular newspaper, as the central arm of SYRIZA’s black propaganda, discounted before the elections that PASOK-Movement of Change would be dragged into a joint government with New Democracy, because its President is allegedly “caught” and “blackmailed”.

Today’s front page of the Documento newspaper proves, however, something more: Messrs. Tsipras, Polakis, Pappas and Vaxevanis may have found a “showcase” from America to continue to have a role in things, but in the face of the first results of their election, they employ the practices of mudslinging, which humiliated SYRIZA. They are so desperate, that in the face of their desperate attempt to hurt PASOK-Movement of Change, they justify Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Quick Dimitriadis and their parastatus. It is the responsibility of the democratic and progressive world of the country to isolate the phenomena of the decline of politics and journalism, which undermine credibility and transparency in public life.”
