The echo of the vote a few days ago in the European Parliament has continued to resound strongly: Transparency International did not fail to highlight the fact that following its letter on the deterioration of the rule of law situation in Greece, the European Parliament adopted the resolution that raises the alarm on these very disturbing developments, as described by the well-known organization for its battle against corruption and the protection of human rights.

"The European Commission must act now", her blunt message continued, as a call not to let the situation pass without proper attention. The resolution approved earlier by the European Parliament with 330 MEPs who voted for, 254 against and 26 abstentions, it was a blow to official Athens openly mentioning the wiretapping and surveillance, the lame investigations into the Tembi train accident a year ago, the fatal sinking of the ship in Pylos with hundreds of smugglers and illegal deportations of illegal immigrants , freedom of the press and "attacks against civil society".

Greece tried to defend itself with a counterattack, and through government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis, said that this is clearly another political game at the level of the European Parliament in order to lower the prestige of its success in recent years. But the EP resolution clearly proves that the problems are real, and the dissatisfaction in the European bloc with their non-resolution is increasing. The European Parliament openly expressed its concerns regarding the concentration of media power in the hands of oligarchs as well as the distribution of state subsidies.
