Αποκαλύπτει το #documento ότι ο Μητσοτάκης παρακολουθούσε την ηγεσία του Στρατού και αντί να βγει ο πρωθυπουργός να δηλώσει ότι κάτι τέτοιο είναι απολύτως ψευδές και συκοφαντικό, αντί να εγγυηθεί ότι η χώρα δεν είναι σουρωτήρι, παριστάνει την Μαρία της σιωπής (αβαβάου παπαπάου) pic.twitter.com/Z8l6k29flv

The scandal, which had just begun to fade into the background, again became the number one topic in Greece. The facts about the wiretapping of the leadership of the armed forces, published by Kostas Vaksevanis, were immediately picked up by the official opposition, using the facts of violations of the laws by Kyriakos Mitsotakis to increase their rating.
As a reminder, just last week it was revealed that the leader of the Greek Socialist Party, Michalis Karamalakis, and prosecutor Vasiliki Vlachos (who made a provocative message to the Committee on Institutions and Transparency that “she will also monitor the President of the Republic” if she considers that this causes damage to national interests), and for the head of the Economic Prosecutor’s Office Christos Bardakis.
Silence governments and the leadership of the armed forces seems deafening, SYRIZA – The Progressive Alliance is stepping up pressure on the Mitsotakis administration and making it clear that the government will not run away from problems, while demanding answers to specific questions:
“After yesterday’s chilling revelations that, in addition to ministers, businessmen and politicians, the goal of ΕΥΠ was also the leadership of the armed forces, the government representative once again chose the path of ridiculous excuses and attacks instead of clear answers. However, things are much more serious than they think, daring to get off with references to Aesop and witticisms. We repeat the questions:
- Is it true that ΕΥΠ is targeting the leaders of the country’s armed forces?
- Can the political leader to whom ΕΥΠ reports, aka Prime Minister Mr. Mitsotakis, categorically deny this?
Let’s wait for clear answers. We will not tolerate games with the country’s national security.”
This was preceded by statements by Giannis Ikonomu on SKAI on Sunday morning that the government “has made it clear that the judiciary must do its job” and that the judicial investigation is expected to “see what are its real characteristics and what are exaggeration and instrumentalization.” “.
He did not fail to once again “advertise” the draft law on changes in ΕΥΠstating that “the government is institutionally facing a number of very serious problems regarding the work of intelligence agencies, national security services, and wishes to make Greece the first country in Europe where there will be a universal ban on the use, creation, marketing and possession of illegal surveillance software” .
At the same time, the silence of the leaders is most alarming. ΓΕΕΘΑ and ΓΕΣ about revelations of “Documento”. Indeed, in the annals of Greek history, it has never happened that people who, by virtue of their position, hold in their hands the national security of Greece, were under the supervision of the National Intelligence Service.
