Today we will attempt a review of the personal data scandal known as Anna-Michelle Gate, because very interesting developments are expected in the coming days.

At the beginning of March, expatriates complained that their personal data, which they had submitted to the Ministry of the Interior in order to vote, was in the hands of Anna-Michel Asimakopoulou, who was sending them e-mails.

The ND MEP she claimed that the data had been collected by her office over the past five years.

Asimakopoulou also stated that it was perfectly legal and accused the opposition parties of trying to undermine the postal vote.

But the government representative kept his distance. And the Athens District Attorney’s Office as well as the Authority for Personal Data launched two parallel investigations.

Later, Asimakopoulou announced that she was withdrawing as a candidate for the European elections. Although he was a faction favorite.

And where public opinion had paid little attention, it suddenly understood that something very big must be happening for them to eat the strongest candidacy of the N.D.

Almost immediately, the Secretary General of the Ministry of the Interior, Michalis Stavrianoudakis, resigns. Taking political responsibility for the leak.

In order not to be called upon to take over by Kerameos, apparently.

And it is announced that the secretary Apodimon of the N.D. is dismissed. Nikos Theodoropoulos.

A Twitter underdog, noted for his toxicity.

Who had initially lashed out with posts that N.D. and Asimakopoulou are unfairly attacked.

And that they beat her with lies and slander for her patriotic stance in the European Parliament.

While he was the one who had given the personal data of the emigrants to Asimakopoulou.

The Ministry of the Interior did not even conduct an EDE. And it took him four days to release an announcement on the matter.

But then he announced an internal investigation by the Ministry’s Internal Audit Unit. To identify gaps in security systems.

Which is nonsense. First, because no one here breached any security system.

Instead, following all security protocols, he took the data and illegally gave it to New Democracy.

Second, it is nonsense because the ministry is controlled. He cannot reliably control himself.

Kerameos did not make the outcome of the internal investigation public.

He only told us that, as it turns out, the leak took place between May and June 2023, when he was acting minister of the interior.

That is, that it is not her fault.

So what; What does this mean; Didn’t they go to New Democracy?

We also know from information that the conclusion of the internal investigation points to the director of Elections of the ministry as solely responsible.

Whose office was broken into two days after the conclusion was concluded.

During the working hours of the ministry and with the employees inside.

After twelve days of searching for it as if it were the Kennedy assassination, the police concluded that the burglary was staged.

And the Petsa list made a noise where the main burglary had been hidden.

And the ministry had done everything it could to downgrade her.

Does all this seem strange to you? They do you good.

We await the decision of the Authority for Personal Data. It will be out at the end of May.

Unless something unexpected has happened by then.

Like the sudden change of its head.

Or its composition.

You never know what might happen…
