Reply to his press secretary SYRIZA-PS provided by government spokesman Yannis Oikonomou following four questions raised by Popi Tsapanidou about the railway accident in Tempe. It is noted that the questions of the press secretary of SYRIZA-PS concerned, among other things, “what exactly will the Prime Minister open on the remote control and alarm in Thessaloniki the day after the tragedy”, responsibility for the appointment of the head of the station Larisa, the reason for resigning in 2022 of the chairman of the Commission responsible for signaling and security projects on the railway network, and whether the resigned Minister of Transport K.A. Karamanlis will be a candidate in the upcoming elections.

Economou: SYRIZA began political exploitation of the tragedy

“In a time of great pain and suffering, in the midst of national mourning, SYRIZA decided to officially begin the political exploitation of the tragedy. Farisaika claims that the only person responsible for the state of the Greek railways is the government of North Dakota, and that they delivered a railroad that worked flawlessly, ”says a government spokesman and continues:

“Now is not the time for guerrilla confrontation. Answers will be given in the near future, in a form that no one disputes in any way, with decisions and signatures. The answers primarily belong to the Greek society, which rightly wonders about the causes of the tragedy and is outraged, and not SYRIZA. But now is the time for mourning and respect.”

Tzapanidu: Four questions about the Tempi tragedy

Previously Spokesman for SYRIZA-PS Popi Tzapanidu asked four questions about the Tempe tragedy.

“Every attempt to hide and hush up the truth about the Tempe tragedy is a disrespect for the dead and portends new tragedies,” Popi Tsapanidou says, emphasizing that “we can all have only one choice now: everything in the world.” .

“The attempt by the prime minister and the government to resort to communicative tricks, crude attempts at compensation and eternal excuses causes serious concern and a sad impression,” says Ms. Tsapanidou and continues:

“We reiterate that for all those who truly respect the unjustly lost lives, their families, all those who are worried about how and why we have come to a drama with many deaths, the truth is the only way,” notes Ms Tsapanidou and emphasizes that the Prime Minister must answer this at this time with four questions:

What exactly was he going to launch in Thessaloniki the day after the accident? Remote control and alarm center with a non-existent system?

Who and how appointed an inexperienced and unsuitable person to the post of head of the station Larisa, and how many days before the accident did he take this position?

What is the reason for the resignation in 2022 of the chairman of the commission in charge of signaling and security projects on the railway network, and what is the response to all-out extrajudicial workers?

Finally, we are waiting for Mr. Mitsotakis, who has placed “objective political responsibility” on Mr. Karamanlis, to tell us whether this will last until the elections and then he will be a normal candidate.”

At the end, the representative of SYRIZA notes that “in any case, let everyone be sure: the truth is the last salute to our dead.”
