As noted, “the questions are increased after the recent journalistic revelations of the newspaper” Democracy “, according to which the” Truth Group “was most methodically organized by its founders, namely the period 2015-2016, they were employees of the ND”.

“The revelations have taken the form of an avalanche and questions about whether there is a” triangular relationship “between private companies, the ruling party and government agencies or public organizations remain and are reinforced. The prime minister’s attempt not to reveal how the mechanisms of propaganda and the murder of characters are funded by ND. It is clear and provocative and will fall into the void, ”says SYRIZA-PS.
“Why society and SYRIZA-PS require a lot of light to spill into this dark affair, which is associated with a violation of the legislation for the funding of political parties. It is a matter of democracy, the protection of transparency, legality and the rule of law, “he concludes.
Here is a detailed question:
“Athens, June 17, 2025
Update
To Mr Prime Minister
Subject: “What is the real source of the illegal funding of the ND communication arm, its truth and party executives?”
On Tuesday, April 11, the report of the Inside Story informative website records, after a journalistic research, that the company “Blue Skies SA SA” in 2018 and 2019 hired New Democracy officials and people in the New Democracy Party with the knowledge of the New Democracy Party.
Blue Skies employees mention the creators and key pillars of the “Truth Group”, the platform that has evolved into a key body to promote the government line and targeting its political opponents. According to the report, Blue Skies and the V+O Group, with which they have been connected until recently, have previously entered into public contracts with public administration and the ND party.
A few days later, a documento newspaper reports that among the employees employed by Blue Skies are alleged to be current ministers, advisers to the prime minister, executives of government agencies and the party mechanism. However, the question is – according to the same newspaper – “because none of these employees – executives mention in his resume the relationship with the company”.
In the aftermath of the revelations, the government spokesman in an interview on 26.4.2025 admitted that both Deputy Minister Konstantinos Kiranakis and the Minister of Social Cohesion and Family Mrs Michaelidou have worked in Blue Skies. On 23.4.2025, in a question, you answered Mr Prime Minister that: “There is no doubt that the Truth Group and the people who staff it are very close to the ND, ideologically and party.”
The government spokesman confirmed the same on 29.4.2025, referring to the “Truth Group” answering a question: “If you ask me if there is communication, there is obviously communication and I support every person who does a job well.”
On 30.4.2025 the Vice President of the Party, Mr. Georgiadis, said in plenary: “To say, how you did it in the New Democracy and made such a successful website that it manages to make so many millions of views every day and to deal with all of Greece with what the team is up for. It is a source of success for the truth and not damage group and, obviously, has no money for the Greek people. “
The questions are increased after the recent journalistic revelations of the newspaper Democracy according to which the period during which the “Truth Group” was most methodically organized by its founders, namely the period 2015-2016, were employed by ND. Skies, while allegedly holding professional party executives.
It has been a month since the submission of my current question (12.5.2025) on the issue of funding for the ND communication arm and you have not yet answered.
The revelations are in the form of an avalanche and no matter how much you try to downgrade them, the questions about whether there is a “triangular relationship” between private companies, the ruling ND party and government agencies or public organizations remain and are reinforced.
Your attempt to hide the truth and not reveal that the mechanisms of propaganda and the murder of the ND characters are funded is clear and provocative and will fall into the void, because society and SYRIZA-PS requires that it is spilling into this darkness. It is a matter of democracy, the protection of transparency, legality and the rule of law.
In the light of the above, the Prime Minister is asked:
1. Who finances communication mechanisms such as the Truth Group and online accounts, even anonymous, to target the political opponents of the ND? How many and what party executives and managers of social network accounts at the same time that they provided their services to the ND party at the same time were or are employees of Blue Skies SA?
2. How is legality ensured when party executives and communication mechanisms are said to be financially supported in violation of the law on the financing of parties from private and public funding and how is it ensured that there was no public money split?
