Revelations that the Greek PM, Alexis Tsipras’s associate on matters of social media, Matheos Tsimitakis was linked to billionaire and pro-FYROM George Soros’s group to influence public opinion in Greece against Russia in the Ukrainian conflict, has caused controversy in the domestic political scene. The government has so far refrained from making any comments on the information. In 2015, Tsimitakis had worked for one of Soros’s multiple open society NGOs in a concerted effort to sway Greek public opinion in favour of Ukraine during the military conflict with Russia. The news caused the intervention of the Russian Embassy in Athens, which requested further details on the matter. In the recent past Tsimitakis was once at the centre of attention, when he openly supported the view expressed by Migration Minister Giannis Mouzalas regarding the name of FYROM. Mouzalas had repeatedly called FYROM ‘Macedonia’ in the media, which caused a strong reaction by ANEL President Panos Kammenos. Tsimitakis was quick to defend Mouzalas in his position, stating that everyone in the world called FYROM Macedonia. Soros NGOs have consistently backed the nationalistic and historically revisionist views in FYROM. Despite the gravity of the matter, no government official has made any comments on the revelations, with some political pundits believing it is yet another internal SYRIZA problem with various strains of lobbies operating within the party and promoting their agendas that find a welcoming environment in the leftist party’s fold, especially on matters of national interest like the relations with Turkey and FYROM.
