[01] Communist Party claims HQ's call center is tapped, asks government
to find perpetrators
The Communist Party said on Thursday it recently discovered that the
party's headquarters were wiretapped and called on the government to
act swiftly to discover the perpetrators.
According to the party's press release, it was observed that various
recent telephone conversations were bugged, among which calls to and
from the headquarters of SYRIZA, New Democracy and Potami.
"These listen-ins are caused by an unknown third 'center'," the party
said in the press release. "The Communist Party denounces this fact. The
government must immediately investigate this issue in depth, uncover the
perpetrators and ensure, as required by every government, the privacy
of telephone conversations."
The Communist Party also said it informed Parliament President Nikos
Voutsis and the relevant minister, Nikos Pappas, on the matter, as well
as the heads of the other parties involved.
[02] Refugees protest outside two camps saying they remain unprotected
in Greek frost
Refugees in two camps of northern Greece protested on Thursday over
the living conditions which worsened in the past few days due to the
sudden drop in temperatures.
Dozens of refugees from Oreokastro camp have been protesting since three
this afternoon blocking both lanes of Simachiki Odos, saying living
conditions have become very difficult since the weather worsened. At the
refugee camp at Diavata, housed in the former "Softex" paper factory,
people gathered outside the center with the same demands.
