Alexis Tsipras’s all-out attack on the prime minister continued, since as – as he said – Kyriakos Mitsotakis himself gave the order to monitor Nikos Androulakis.
The leader of the official opposition emphasized during his speech that the monitoring of Mr. Androulakis was not decided by the PM’s nephew, nor by the commander of the National Intelligence Agency, but by the prime minister himself.
“Do you know what the average citizen thinks,” added Mr. Tsipras? “If a party leader and a journalist are being watched, who can sleep peacefully?”
“Is it possible to claim that the Prime Minister can be monitored for reasons of national security? Who will judge the reason for this? Himself along with his close associates? You are legally, politically, and morally obligated to drop the half-talk and explain.
You have an obligation to explain what national security reason led you to monitor Mr. Androulakis’ phone. Give us an answer. What was the reason, was he an agent, is he a spy, is he dangerous for national interests?”
Mr. Tsipras continued by noting that these days we are experiencing the exit of the Mitsotakis regime.
