Will Greek Government Be Next European Domino To Fall?

ATHENS — The one thing that can be said with certainty about the wiretapping scandal roiling Athens right now — already dubbed the Greek Watergate by some — is that Vladimir Putin had nothing to do with it. The gist of the matter is that earlier this month Greece’s state intelligence service allegedly used spyware to listen in on phone calls made by an opposition government leader, Nikos Androulakis, from his mobile phone. As the Sun reported in May, Mr. Androulakis, who is also a deputy member of the European Parliament, has in recent months seen his political star rise along with that of Greece’s historically robust Socialist party, or Pasok.
