Sources at Maximos Palace said yesterday, after the Prime Minister attended the funeral of unfortunate commercial train driver Spyros Voulgaris, that he “knew him personally.” In fact. The unfortunate young man, whose thread of life was so unjustly cut off, was a member of the youth of N.D. as a student, and during the 2015 intra-party process, was an ardent supporter of the candidacy of Mitsotakis and volunteered in his election campaign. The deceased, originally from Lianoklady, despite the fact that he was now engaged in his favorite profession, was still close to the ND party, hence the presence at his funeral of two local deputies, Christos Staikouras and Giannis the Housekeeper.

“Bone Knife”

Funeral speeches were delivered by both a close friend and the father of the deceased. The former even turned to the current prime minister, asking him what all of Greece was asking for: “Mr. Prime Minister, do what you must do. Stick the knife into the bone,” he said with disgust at his speech, expressing the popular mood.

Three Greeks from three countries

Three Greek acting ministers from three different governments of three different countries met in Doha on the sidelines of the UN Convention for the Least Developed Countries. In particular, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for Economic Diplomacy Kostas Fragogiannis from Greece, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Development Cooperation of France Chrysoula Zaharopoulou and Deputy Foreign Minister of Italy Maria Tripodi found time on the sidelines of the meeting. to discuss both bilateral relations between their countries and the tragic case in Greece, in which two ministers of Greek origin were particularly interested.

one step back

Alexis Tsipras has so far been very cautious about the tragedy, not personally raising his voice or participating in the accident’s political surrender process, which is always easy at times like this. The communication work has so far been carried out by Popi Tsapanidou and a special group of deputies who appear on the channels. What is certain, however, is that in the next period, when national mourning will inevitably give way to political confrontation, the President of SYRIZA himself will enter the discussion, demanding answers from the government.
