Temporary suspension of its activities parliament for one hour, so that deputies can participate in strike which continues in Athens, for the tragic train accident in Tempeasked his parliamentary representative SYRIZA-PS Panos Skurletis.

Its general secretary was also called to request KKE Dimitris Koutsoubas, who was already “attending” the rally and said he would return after completing his speech in Parliament on the School Violence Bill.

His parliamentary representative also agreed PASOK-KINAL Nadia Giannakopoulou, stressing that “it is very important, both for symbolic and political reasons, that the interruption of the work of the parliament and the participation of deputies in the rally has its own political and moral value.”

The chairman of the House, Charalambos Athanasiou, responded that any member of parliament who wishes can go to the meeting, noting that the parliament has honored the memory of those killed in the Tempe tragedy with three days of mourning. “The pain is great, but the cause is weak, so any deputy who wants to can go to the rally,” he said.

“Parliament must prove that it is on the side of children and society. To prove that she was seriously concerned about the tragic accident at Tempe. Otherwise, it will be an act of disrespect for the dead and an underestimation of society,” Mr Skurletis objected, saying that the leadership of SYRIZA would leave the meeting to attend the rally for an hour and then return to Parliament, considering it their obligation to be close to youth and society at this time.
