Yesterday and the day before yesterday, the national delegation honored the memory of those killed in the train tragedy in Tempi at the plenary sessions and in parliamentary committees with a minute of silence. However, at the end of a minute of silence, officials of the majority and minority, with rare exceptions so far, raise the tone of the discussion about who is responsible for the tragic state of the railways and the accident.

“Respect for the memory of those who were martyred on that accursed night at the turn of the month in Tempe is the first and highest duty of all of us,” emphasized at the beginning of yesterday’s meeting, the purpose of which was to approve the bill of the Ministry of Justice, the chairman of the chamber, K Tassoulas. Hours later, however, the accusations and controversy resurfaced. “Respect for the dead also means respect for the truth. And it looks like the government hates the truth,” said Dem, SYRIZA parliamentary representative, among other things. Tzanakopoulos, who made a sharp accusation against the government. “Now is not the time for petty political clashes,” said St. Petersburg’s deputy interior minister. Petsas.

At the same time, at the meeting of the commission on the bill of the Ministry of Education, which is being voted on in plenary today, Ms. Katherine Papakosta-Paliura (N.D.) had a sharp verbal skirmish with representatives of the main opposition, with Ms. Hara Kefalidou (PASOK ) to ask for a lower tone: “We need restraint, calmness and respect,” he said characteristically. In this climate, among the exceptions who made a splash was Mr. Agg. Tolkas (SYRIZA), who emphasized among other things: “This is not a moment of confrontation, this is a moment of great understanding and support.”

Responsibility for N.D., SYRIZA and PASOK has, with various arguments, been assigned to KKE, Hellenic Solution and MeRA25, often in a harsh manner. Significantly, Mr. Velopoulos described ND as “rotten to the marrow.”
