Athens: Parliamentary bodies to decide on Tal Dillian summons

The Greek government has signaled it will not yield to parliamentary demands to summon Tal Dillian of Intellexa. Government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis stated that parliamentary bodies will address the matter based on the facts of the case. This approach confirms the administration's strategy to keep the wiretapping scandal out of the political forefront.

The parliamentary bodies will respond based on the facts of the case.

Marinakis's comments came as the government faces pressure regarding the scandal. The same stance is being applied to other related developments, including journalist Thanasis Koukakis's request, through his lawyer, to reopen a closed case file. "This is a serious matter that justice is investigating," Marinakis said, highlighting the separation of powers.

This is a serious matter that justice is investigating.

He emphasized that justice will respond with its decisions, and parliament will act through its own resolutions on submitted requests. This assertion reinforces the government's central line: to keep the affair away from the political and parliamentary spotlight. The government aims to avoid direct engagement on the issue, deferring to the appropriate judicial and parliamentary procedures.

There is intolerance in some quarters to understand the separation of powers.
