The recent comments made by government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis regarding the surveillance of former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras have sparked significant reactions from Samaras's associates. They challenged Marinakis's suggestion that the issue of surveillance was linked to the New Democracy party (ND) and the 2023 elections. In particular, they expressed confusion over why Marinakis would draw such a connection in the context of the legal steps Samaras is taking against the use of the Predator surveillance software.

Samaras has filed a petition with Greece's Supreme Court regarding the monitoring he claims to have been subjected to. His associates have indicated that Marinakis's remarks are seen as an attempt to politicize the issue, emphasizing their belief that the focus should remain on the surveillance concerns rather than on party politics or upcoming electoral implications. This exchange highlights the ongoing tensions relating to privacy, surveillance, and their potential political repercussions in Greece.
