Response to SYRIZA’s announcement on Google and the monitoring software is provided by the government representative.
More specifically Giannis Oikonomou states:
“We have stressed from the first moment that the Greek security services have neither purchased nor used the specific monitoring software. Consequently, the Greek government and state services have not had and do not have any kind of transaction with anyone involved in the production and distribution of this software.
Besides, the text itself speaks of assessment in the references to the various countries, including Greece and Spain. It should be noted, however, that both the Greek Justice and the National Transparency Authority, assisted by the Confidentiality Authority, have dealt with the complaints made by a specific person, regarding the possibility of monitoring in our country, with the specific software. Communications.
“Every effort, therefore, to create impressions and opposition, inside the country, with such means shows the despair of those who attempt it.”
The announcement of SYRIZA
“A month ago, we publicly asked the government whether the Greek State had procured the” predator “surveillance software on the occasion of the revelations about the surveillance of journalist Thanasis Koukakis, who was investigating corruption cases for business interests benefiting from the government. .
Since then, the government spokesman has repeatedly denied it, attributing the surveillance to an individual.
Today’s Google revelation that government agencies in Greece have procured predator tracking software and even for mobile phones with android software, is a collapse for the Mitsotakis government and puts another piece in the puzzle of this dark story.
Will Mr. Economou deny Google now? Or does he just not pay attention when you tell him something to do?
“Because this is a major issue of democracy and we consider it unthinkable for citizens and journalists to be illegally monitored by state services, we call on the government to give clear explanations.”
