“At a time when citizens are demanding truth and accountability, Mr. Tsipras maintained that everything was done right in his day and that in 2019 he built a railway where everything worked well,” the statement said. SW For interview with the President of SYRIZA in Mega.

“To back up his claims, he used a series of lies. The same ones used by the minister Mr. Spircis,” the ruling party continued and quoted the following:

Lie: “We completed 68% of the project”

Is it true: The contract, which started at the end of 2014, although it was supposed to be completed by 2016, was partially developed until 2017. 32% of the products were handed over, in which, unfortunately, however, “there were very serious errors, as a result, a percentage of no more than 18% was really operable in these two years.” The rest needed to be restored. In 2017, the implementation of the contract actually stopped, as serious mistakes were made in the implementation.” The famous 68% refers to funding figures, not to provided operations departments. During the existence of SYRIZA, 17 stations out of 52 were delivered, of which half were reconstructed under the government of North Dakota and another 19 were built. As for ETCS, zero (0) stations were delivered until 2020, and between 2020 and 2023. 21 stations were delivered for OSE use, i.e. 40% of the project.

Lie: “Larisa also had a second remote control system that was damaged in 2019 and burned down, and no one repaired it. Why didn’t anyone have time? 9.5 billion direct appointments were made”

Is it true: The local remote control system has been fully operational since November 2022.” In 2017, under the government of SYRIZA, the local signal station in Larissa was closed. The remote control was active, but according to the OSE document, it did not work, preventing them from seeing anything but a very small area, until the 2019 fire when it was destroyed. The new local station was handed over to ERGOSE in November 2022. Thus, the stationmaster, as everyone on the spot confirmed, could also plot the route electronically and see the composition for 5.5 kilometers. He did neither.

Lie: “Under the government of SYRIZA, each station had 2 station masters”

Is it true: The two stationmasters were never obliged. It is enough to look at the service tables to be convinced of this. The work is divided into 3 shifts. The regulatory framework provides that it is the manager who determines the shifts.

Lie: “Karolos had a system by which you could see where each train was.”

Is it true: In fact, there was a GPS system, but it did not show which tracks the train was on, but only tracked its location. So when there are two lines, as in this particular case, he would have no way of seeing if he was moving in the right or wrong line. This could be seen if the teleaddressing system, which was not installed, worked.
