Controversy in Parliament over Adonis Georgiadis's "smart glasses"
An intense political debate was recently sparked in the Greek Parliament following the appearance of the Minister of Health, Adonis Georgiadis, wearing Meta "smart glasses."
The incident occurred during a session when the Minister used the technology, which features a built-in camera and recording capabilities. This move drew an immediate reaction from opposition MPs, who expressed concerns regarding data protection and privacy within the parliamentary chamber.
Critics of the Minister argued that the use of such devices in public spaces, and especially in Parliament, may violate ethics and security rules. For his part, Mr. Georgiadis defended his choice, emphasizing that it is a technological tool that assists in daily work and was not intended to violate anyone's rights.
The issue highlighted the concerns existing in Greek society regarding the rapid evolution of technology and its integration into political life. Experts point out that the use of devices with cameras requires clear rules to ensure a balance between innovation and respect for citizens' privacy.
The discussion is expected to continue, as the issue of digital security becomes increasingly important in the modern era. For the time being, no official restrictions have been announced regarding the use of similar devices within the parliamentary building.
