“With yesterday’s important article, the president of the Communications Privacy Authority, Mr. Christos Rammos, fully clarified the legal framework regarding the lifting of privacy for reasons of national security”says SYRIZA PS in a statement.
SYRIZA asks the questions: Are public prosecutors who decide to declassify communications, citing reasons of national security, absolved of any responsibility for their decisions? Are these legal by definition? The official opposition party notes in this regard that “Mr. Rammos replies that the provisions must be checked, that the ADAE is the competent Authority for this and that the existing legal framework is sufficient to do so”.
SYRIZA emphasizes that “as for the prosecutors who issue formal, but not essentially legal, provisions to remove telephone privacy, it clarifies that they are not exempt from their disciplinary, civil and criminal responsibilities, which leaves open the possibility of the search them in the future, when the rule of law will have been restored in the country”.
SYRIZA comments that “the control of legality and justification are highlighted in key issues of freedom, democracy and justice by Mr. Rammos, which the governing majority blatantly bypassed, refusing the proposal of the five opposition parties for a summons to the Institutions and Transparency Committee of the prosecutor of the Supreme Court Ms. Adeline and the deputy prosecutor Mr. Life, together with the transmission of the finding on the wiretapping scandal”.
Following the above, he argues that “it is confirmed once again that the president of ADAE, in addition to his indisputable legal depth and training, has always functioned as a real guardian of the Constitution, which led the government to remove his powers, changing the composition of ADAE in a coup d’état, with the help of Mr. Velopoulos”.
