This is not the moment of reckoning, these will obviously happen, it is a moment of mourning and pain, heartbreak for the families who lost their children, heartbreak for the youth who have suffered the memorization policies of the bankrupt country and the pandemic for two years , a youth that yesterday silently protested across the country in gatherings that the state chose to attack again, said the SYRIZA MP, Olga Gerovasilis speaking on the Kalimera show with Giorgos Autias.

We are obliged as a political system to convince them to turn this anger, grief, sadness and rage of young people into positive action, as active citizens to take their destinies into their own hands and move forward, added Mrs. Gerovasili and added that they are an excellent youth, but we have discredited them in schools, universities, in labor relations since 2010 with all the sufferings imposed on our country due to violence and previous political choices.

Mrs. Gerovasili said that we are talking about mistakes of both the past and the present and added that the apportionment will be found.

“Is it a coincidence that the railway networks have not been developed in our country since the post-political period or is it a choice? Why was the Rio – Antirrio bridge built without a railway line? Did it happen by chance or is it a cartel choice?’ asked Mrs. Gerovasili.

Regarding the labyrinthine path of the contracts, he said that two contracts were received in 2015, one comes from 2007 which was not implemented because there was no signaling, and one in 2014 to make the signaling so that the first one could be done.

“In order for any remote control system to work, infrastructure is needed for the system to accept it. Also, the infrastructure must be complete in order for the system to be installed,” he explained.

He added that in 2015 we receive and find the contract of 2007 that cannot be implemented, but at the same time we made the infrastructure that will accept the system, the double line Athens-Thessaloniki were made, the bridges over the faults and the tunnels were made to welcome the remote control system.

“In 2019 we delivered the remote control system at 68% but if it is not the whole project it cannot work. In October 2019, another contract should have been made at the latest, but the government signed it in 2021,” he added.

At the same time, he added, the OSE was discredited all these years before us, from the period of Samara’s government, with a managing director “the one who is now being asked to check himself in a committee that is not super-partisan”.

For committee of experts announced yesterday commented that “the government is controlled, it does not control” and added that “we were not asked to recommend an expert, we were told either you accept the committee or you don’t”.

Mrs. Gerovasili added that in SYRIZA “we do not hesitate to self-criticize openly”.

Finally, he explained that during SYRIZA the transport project was privatized, all the infrastructures remained with the Greek state. “Today the Greek state is being judged” he said and explained that the sale was mandatory from the third memorandum and was the only offer.
