Hellenic Authority for Communication Security and Privacy

Leader of the main opposition party SYRIZA Stefanos Kasselakis met with the president of the Hellenic Authority for Communication Security and Privacy (ADAE) Christos Rammos on Monday. 

"I have serious concerns on the quality of our democracy," commented Kasselakis adding that he shall expand on his concerns later on Monday. 

Changes are expected in the board of the Hellenic Authority for Communication Security and Privacy (ADAE) on Thursday, after Parliament President Konstantinos Tassoulas called for a meeting of the body that approves appointments in independent authorities.

The plenary of the Hellenic Authority for Communication Security and Privacy (ADAE) is expected to meet on Wednesday to approve the report of the team that conducted the audit of the National Intelligence Service (EYP) on the wiretapping case.

The head of the privacy watchdog investigating the wiretapping affair has responded to criticism from the government which Tuesday accused him of overstepping his institutional boundaries.

The privacy watchdog chairperson investigating the wiretapping affair is seeking to become "a political factor in a sensitive period" and is "overstepping" his institutional responsibilities, the government spokesperson has said.

Main opposition leader Alexis Tsipras has expressed his "deep concern about phenomena that disrupt the orderly functioning of the state," referring to the wiretapping issue, in a meeting with President Katerina Sakellaropoulou at the presidential mansion.

Nine individuals including former intelligence chiefs have been invited to closed-door hearings in Parliament on the operation of the National Intelligence Service (EYP) and eavesdropping on PASOK-KINAL leader Nikos Androulakis and others that will take place on Thursday.

Suspicions confirmed

Koukakis's account of his run-in with Predator reads like the script of a Hollywood thriller. Only this is not fiction.

The president of the Hellenic Authority for Communication Security and Privacy (ADAE) has called for changes to the legal framework so that it can also monitor private surveillance mechanisms.
