Greece's Council of State will discuss on Friday a petition by PASOK-Movement for Change (KINAL) leader Nikos Androulakis requesting that a government regulation forbidding the independent authority responsible for privacy, ADAE, from informing those who have been previously monitored by the National Intelligence Service to be declared unconstitutional.

PASOK-Movement for Change (KINAL) leader Nikos Androulakis interprets the result of the May 21 election, which gave the conservatives a 20-percentage point lead over the main opposition, as a failure of SYRIZA and categorically dismisses any possibility of cooperation with New Democracy, even if the latter does not secure an outright majority.
