Main opposition leader Alexis Tsipras tabled a no confidence in Greece’s Parliament on Wednesday afternoon, citing what he claims are “illegal wiretaps” against a bevy of ministers in the current government and top military brass.
A vote on the measure is expected before midnight on Friday in the country 300-MP legislature. Such no confidence votes are rarely successful, as the majority of MPs from the ruling party mostly rally around the government at the time.
The leftist party leader and former prime minister spoke a day after receiving a briefing and documents by Christos Rammos the head of the Hellenic Authority for Communication Security and Privacy (ADAE), an independent watchdog. Rammos was appointed by the SYRIZA government days before general elections in July 2019, which the latter lost.
In his address to Parliament on Wednesday, Tsipras claimed that Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis was behind the national intelligence service’s surveillance, which he called illegal.
