“This is an incredible tragedy that hurts the Greek people, everyone identifies with the families of the victims,” the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs told SKAI. Kostis Hatzidakis.

He emphasized that “this is something very serious and we cannot leave it like this. After every tragedy there must be appropriate gap. Our duty, not hiding behind a finger, is to bring things to purification. This is an obligation to our conscience. We have to show by our actions that we are leading there.”

“I have since pointed out that OSE the problem is two to three times worse than the Olympics, both from an economic point of view and from the point of view of other parameters. I had some problems scandals, lack of transparency, problems related to management and work culture“, he added.

“In September 2008 I launched remote management of Thessaloniki-Larisa and Larissa-Thessaloniki and by November of that year, it had spread to Domoko. When I returned after 3.5 years of ministry, it didn’t exist. There was a somewhat defeated network of gangs that took out copper, smuggled it in.”

He emphasized that “his In September 2014, an agreement was signed to withdraw from the network., which stated that by the end of 2016 the project should be completed. The work hasn’t been done.”

“THAT OSE is a problematic organization with pan-Greek networks.. In this story, there are more or less responsibilities for everyone. Both with us and with SYRIZA. We, as a party, are obliged to assume the responsibilities entrusted to us. What impresses me is that two SYRIZA officials, the relevant minister and secretary general, first say that everything went wrong before 2015 and after 2019, except for their own period. This is unacceptable and I hope they understand. We all need to get tested, there are people who get hurt. It is impossible to discuss as if nothing is happening,” he added.

“TRAINOSE is in a very difficult situation. He had 340 million euros in expenses and about 80 million euros in income. We put in a lot of effort and in 2014 it became profitable. The EU, since it found that TRAINOSE was given illegal state aid, it demanded that TRAINOSE return 700 million euros to the society,” he said.
