Recall that yesterday the Prime Minister mentioned in his Facebook post that he “will immediately ask the European Commission and friendly countries for help in terms of know-how so that we can finally get modern trains”, and also that he will propose “from now on to allow everyone parties to undertake to set up in the next parliament a special committee to investigate the painful history of the Greek railways over the past twenty years.”
