Particularly moving moments unfolded in the morning outside the Athens Court of Appeal in Loukareos, where the decision on Eye was announced.

The decision raised a storm of reactions, with several relatives of victims erupting. Relatives and burn from Mati were not alone. At their side were citizens, from bodies, colleges and individual people. The picture that stood out, however, was that of the relatives of Mandra, some of whom gave the “present” to the Court of Appeal today to support their cheerful fellow humans from the eye.

“We came here today, unfortunately, in a charged atmosphere, as in this court, in this trial, they call for 120 relatives of victims. And unfortunately, once again, we found ourselves in the same work. No one has attributed the justice to. We first lived it in Mandra, they lived in turn now. Unfortunately, there is another court that will come in a short time, I am sorry that the same people will live as well as those people“Said Anastasios Bertas, president of the Association of Relatives, Deads and Mandra 2017.

Anastasios lost his father in those floods, with the rushing waters pushing the truck which was driving and ultimately his body being located at a distance of many kilometers.

“We see that the judicial system either cannot, or does not want to give justice. This is something sad, because behind every number lost, they have a number, a human life is hidden, there is a family that is saddened, painful and seeking justice. What we want is justice is not to discriminate justice to the victims and to finally change this situation in our country. We cannot mourn another in times of peace, we can no longer hurt in this way and see a judicial and state system towards us in our“Anastasios Beretas pointed out.
