Suspension of public events SYRIZA continues until at least Sunday. At a meeting held in Kumunduru with the participation of the heads of the Executive Office and political planning, it was noted that respect for the victims and their families is more important than criticism. The signal was given centrally Alexis Tsipraswho chose not to make a statement. On Monday he was in Atalanti for the funeral of Elpida Hope, and on Thursday he may go to Karditsa for a final farewell to Vaios Vlachos. The President of SYRIZA had a personal relationship with the parents of two young people.

According to “K”, at an enlarged meeting on Tuesday, the members of the bodies agreed that the placement of Nikos Fili in parliament was not in line with the direction set by the party. The head of education, referring to the post of prime minister, said that “apologies must be understood”, adding that “when you beat children in Syntagma Square, when you kill them on trains inside, what kind of apologies are you talking about?” . In softer terms, Mr Phyllis, speaking the day after the tension with Niki Kerameos, back in Parliament, stated that “politics is not only logic: it also contains emotions. Today we mourn, as the whole society mourns … Sorrow does not mean either silence or an alibi for concealment.

OSE obsolescence

SYRIZA will shortly present its positive proposals for the operation of railways in Greece, focusing also on short-term measures to get trains back on track. This was decided at yesterday’s meeting, emphasizes the top manager of “K”. At the same time, the official opposition will urgently demand answers from Maximos in connection with the discovery of a “direct deal”, as party sources say, governments with TRAINOSE to the detriment of the state and security systems.

They emphasize that “in 2020, the government agreed with TRAINOSE that the Italian company will make an investment of 650 million euros, and the state, for its part, will take over the improvement of security systems. This contract was never put to a vote and was subsequently amended in 2022. In its new form, the company was released from an investment of almost 600 million euros.

SYRIZA focuses its criticism of the government’s responsibilities on three more points: As emphasized, it does not respond:

• “Revealing that until July 2019, a remote control center was operating at the Larissa station. It stopped work after the damage caused by the fire in the summer of that year was not repaired.

• Why in 2020 the secondary control center in Athens was discredited and stopped working, which controlled the progress of all trains in the country.

• Who and why illegally reappointed the head of the station, while just five days after his approval, Mr. Karamanlis, by his ministerial decree of May 30, 2020, “legitimized” the reappointment and bypassing the age limit of 48 years established by the OGE.”
