Koutsoumbas: 'Our censure of the government is given and ongoing'

Communist Party of Greece (KKE) General Secretary Dimitris Koutsoumbas on Friday said that KKE's censure of the government "is given and ongoing" and that it "concerns the stink of scandal from the phone tappings and surveillance, as well as the sum of the political choices that lay accumulated burdens on the backs of the people." Koutsoumbas was addressing parliament in the debate on the motion of censure against the government.

On the wire-tapping case, he blamed the government and the prime minister personally, underlining that "ND and Mitsotakis should explain themselves for each case of phone tapping, one by one, and assume their responsibilities," while noting that the questions that arise are "merciless" and "demand answers".

"We have no illusions about whether you will provide them, without this meaning that we will stop demanding them," he added.
