Like another fierce battle in a drawn-out war to lay blame for a deadly train crash Pace his collection is considered Parliamentary Institutions and Transparency Committee on Monday morning, convened at the appropriate request of the ruling majority. The topic of the meeting was defined as “Progress and development of work under contract 717 for telecontrol – signaling”, with opposition parties urgently demand the expansion of the subject and persons to be summoned to the court session.

Recall that invitations were sent to three former Ministers of Infrastructure and Transport K.Ah. Karamanly, cr. Spircis and Mich. Chrysochodis, as well as the Minister of State, also responsible for infrastructure and transport, G. Gerapetritis.

For their part, the opposition parties, in their written appeals, ask to expand the circle of persons to be heard. A consensus of opposition exists for OSE train drivers and stationmasters, the Federation of Railways, and current and former OSE management. Proposals were also made for ERGOSE, Hellenic Train, the Railway Regulatory Authority, the current Deputy Ministers of Transport and Infrastructure, the GC of the ministry of Mr. K. Hatzidakis, up to D. Reppas, N. Mavragani or even G. Ragusis, who were appointed to the controversial ministry. The fact that there is – or perhaps will be formed – an agreement within the opposition on such proposals means that at least a second meeting of the Committee of Institutions should be expected, since according to the Regulations, the necessary number of minority initiative is recruited for its convocation.

However, the anti-government front is already cracking as opposition parties are also exchanging arrows with each other. It is tellingly mentioned that from a different point of view, KKE, Greek Solution and MeRA25 accuse SYRIZA-PASOK of being in the government.

The tragedy of Tempe “cannot be a field of political confrontation. Nevertheless, you will respectfully allow me to say that you have decided to turn it exclusively into a field of political confrontation,” said, in particular, Mr. Gerapetritis, speaking the day before yesterday at an extraordinary meeting of the Production and Trade Committee, addressing the official opposition. There were also previous statements by SYRIZA deputies who “pointed” exclusively to the current government as the perpetrators of the fatal accident.
