“Today’s ‘walks’ by Mr. Gerapetritis do not ‘catch’ the dissolution that occurred due to the responsibility of Mitsotakis and Karamanlis,” Nikos Pappas and Christos Yiannoulis, heads of the SYRIZA-PS Infrastructure and Transport Department, said in a statement. , commenting on the visit of the new Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Giorgos Gerapetritis, to the remote OSE office in Thessaloniki.

They further state: “The new Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, although he is the chief of staff to this day, continues to pretend that he was not aware of hundreds of complaints and extrajudicial statements by the railway workers and our more than 100 interventions. on topical issues in the industry. Today it was found in Thessaloniki. But instead of visiting (also) the TX1 junction – the control center with a thousand problems, he ended up only at the central station of the city.

Heads of departments remind that “since November 2021, as part of our field visit to TX1, we paid attention to one of the most important railway junctions, which is located in the building – ruins, the abandonment of the railway and the work of employees in the curtain, because. after 2019, the remote control and light signaling systems are either “off” or defective. Then, according to Mr. Karamanlis, we were engaged in popularization. And then, however, and now we insist on the need to restore the railway, improve transport safety and convey the truth about what happened a week ago.
