Truth Team: Is the PM and his team telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

The government spokesman has confirmed that the “truth team” was in the pay of a private company owned by Varvitsiotis and Olympios.

Referring to the reports published by “Inside Story” that revealed the notorious “Truth Team” was paid by a company owned by T. Varvitsiotis and G. Olympiou of V+O Communication, the spokesman, speaking at the Delphi Economic Forum X noted that “a private individual received payment from other private individuals, and for some people this is a horrifying revelation.”

A damning investigation published Friday by “Inside Story”, an independent Greek investigative outlet, exposed what appears to be a covert propaganda network operating at the heart of Greece’s ruling party, New Democracy (ND). The report centers on Blue Skies S.A., a private communications firm co-owned by Thomas Varvitsiotis and Yiannis Olympios—both with close personal and political ties to Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Thomas Varvitsiotis and Yiannis Olympios are founders and co-managing directors of V+O Group, a PR agency in Greece 70% of which was bought by the multinational SEC newgate.
