“He again chose the path of yesterday,” commented a government spokesman. Giannis Economouregarding the interview of the President of SYRIZA, Alexis Tsiprason MEGA.

Mr. Oikonomou emphasizes in his statement that “citizens expected proper self-criticism from Mr. Tsipras today” and then accused the leader of the official opposition of following “yesterday’s way, repeating the statements of Mr. Spircis.”

Mr. Economos’ statement in detail

“Citizens today expect from Mr. Tsipras, who ruled, in addition to criticism, courage and honesty, the proper self-criticism required by the gravity of the circumstances. On the contrary, he decided once again to follow the path of yesterday, repeating the statements of Mr. Spircis: “Big empty words about responsibility, with which, according to him, he did not argue, but did not give any answer to 7 extensions-postponements of the controversial contract during its validity period.

He showed evidence of an estimated 68% completion rate due to intentionally or unknowingly confusing payments with supposedly working systems when only 32% of the physical item is known to have been delivered by 2017, most of which then had to be replaced. So far from there and until 2019, absolutely nothing.

Although he tried to dive back decades to talk about the state, he never said a word about the need for public scrutiny and the forced break with the logic of dishonesty and the old syndicalism that try to keep the Greek state captive to its worst. once.

Society demands the truth without hypocrisy and evasiveness.”

Zapanido’s answer

SYRIZA representative Popi Tsapanidou replied to the government representative:

“Mr. Economou, it would be good if he sympathized with the grief experienced by the families of the victims and the collective trauma of society, and did not seek responsibility everywhere except the government. And Mr. Mitsotakis must understand that he ruled the country for four years and that every time a tragic event occurs, or every time his policies lead to serious consequences, he cannot remain in the dark or someone else is to blame.

Finally, “the old unionists who are trying to keep the Greek state in captivity until its worst times,” says Mr. Oikonomou, are the people who have been warning Mr. Mitsotakis’s government through years of lawsuits and strikes that a serious problem railroad safety, at a time when Mr. Karamanlis appeared morally offended, insisting that he was ashamed that the issue of passenger safety had been raised, ten days before the accident that killed 57 of our brethren.” .
