Satisfied and vindicated with the attitude and distance that the government kept in the case of telephone monitoring, referring from the first moment it arose to the judgment of justice and its decisions, state government sources, after yesterday’s filing by the Prosecutor’s Office of the Supreme Court of of possible involvement of the EYP or other government agencies or officials in the illegal monitoring with the predator malware.

“From the first moment we said that we await the decisions of the Court, which is the permanent position of the Government” commented the same sources, adding that “the Justice spoke and presented the thorough and thorough result of its investigation.

At Megaros Maximos, they consider that the multi-page opinion of the Supreme Court throws the headlines completely documented and answers the most serious accusations and slanders of the opposition regarding an attempt to “cover up government responsibilities” and a single EYP surveillance center – predator, placing in the frame of responsibility Herodos Attikou and the prime minister himself. “The mythology raised by the opposition and its unreserved choice to condemn the prime minister and the government for things that have nothing to do with it, led it to an absolute dead end,” commented government officials, returning fire to those who wanted, as they say, Justice to serve of their political goals.

The House is just as strict against the new reactions from the benches on its left, underlining the persistence of the opposition parties in the complaints about “scandal” and “parastatism” which, as they say, expose those who insist on them, and portraying the “ala kart” confidence they seem to have in the Judiciary and its officials as their only criterion is their party interest.

From the floor of the Parliament, the Minister of State, Makis Voridis, addressing the seats of the opposition, accused them that the Justice which they themselves would trust, is the Justice which issues provisions, decisions and resolutions according to their wishes. “If you don’t like what the Justice decides, then you don’t trust it and it is in an institutional crisis, but if it decides the way you like, then the truth shines and it has judicial officials.

We can change the system to people’s justice and bring the cases to your offices and you do them yourself. Fortunately, this does not exist,” said Mr. Voridis.

While the government representative, responding to the points of Stefanos Kasselakis regarding the objectivity of the Supreme Court’s decision, spoke of hypocrisy and audacity on the part of the president of SYRIZA, noting among other things that “Today in Greece, there are no “para-ministries of Justice” in Maximos, as during the SYRIZA government, according to what former Minister Stavros Kontonis had cynically admitted. Judges decide as they see fit, based on their independent role“.

The opposition’s questioning of the rule of law, according to the same government sources, also contradicts the recent report of the European Commission on it, to which Kyriakos Mitsotakis made a special reference during the meeting of the Council of Ministers, stressing that “in defiance of those who launched slurs against the government on rule of law issues.

The European Commission’s report came and completely justified the government’s policy. “Greece is one of the nine countries that has made the most progress in relation to the rule of law issues,” the prime minister noted.

However, and during the part of the case that is still pending in the Justice Department, government sources reiterated the government’s firm position on trust in the independent judicial authorities, adding that they await with interest the opinions of all those who had rushed to condemn official and political actors before the crisis Justice.
