The government agrees with SYRIZA’s request to open Greek parliament nine days earlier, on August 22, to hold an emergency plenary discussion on the phone-tapping issue of politicians and journalists by National Intelligence Service (EYP), government spokesperson Yannis Economou said on Monday.
Syriza-Progressive Alliance leader Alexis Tsipras had requested this from Parliament President Constantine Tassoulas earlier on Monday, following revelations about EYP’s phone-tapping of PASOK-Movement for Change leader Nikos Androulakis.
“The government is serious about doing all that is required at institutional and parliamentary level to investigate the case of the legal intrusion into the phone of Mr. Androulakis,” added Economou.
