The Legislative Content Act with the urgent provisions to strengthen integrity in the operation of the National Intelligence Service (EYP) was published on Tuesday evening.
It provides, among other things, that the appointment of the chief of the intelligence service is carried out following the consent of the competent committee of the Parliament, in accordance with the provisions of its Regulations, and that the obligation to provide a consent in accordance with par. 1 also concerns the head of the Service at the time of the publication of the Act.
Moreover, the monitoring of communications, letters, etc. also requires the final approval by the Appellate Prosecutor.
Economou: No shadows will be left; answers will be given in an institutional way
“From the first moment that this case came to light, the government has been consistent in its line and its tactics to do what is necessary, in order for us all to get the answers. We don’t want any shadow left. There should be answers regarding the questions that arise both for (KINAL-Movement for Change leader Nikos) Androulakis and for the political world as a whole. These answers, due to the nature of the matter, can only be given in an institutional way,” government spokesperson Yiannis Economou said on Tuesday in an interview with public broadcaster ERT1.
“Justice will do its job. All the competent authorities and services will help the justice, and what is institutionally provided for this very important issue – we have never denied its seriousness – within the Greek parliament, will be done,” Economou underlined.
