Greece: Government faces scrutiny over spyware and Tempi tragedy

The Greek government under Kyriakos Mitsotakis faces intense criticism regarding its handling of several major national crises and its perceived efforts to control information. Key issues cited include the Predator spyware scandal, which targeted PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis, journalists, and military leadership, and the subsequent lack of accountability for high-ranking officials despite convictions of software vendors.

Further scrutiny is directed at the government’s response to the Tempi train tragedy, specifically concerning the removal of debris from the site during active investigations and the perceived avoidance of parliamentary oversight. Additionally, investigations into the management of European funds and irregularities within the Greek agricultural organization, OPEKEPE, have contributed to a broader narrative of institutional evasion and lack of transparency.
