“Ten days after the accident that shocked the country, the relatives of the victims do not have access to the case file, making it difficult for them to exercise their legal rightshe points out in his statement the Head of Justice of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance, Theofilos Xanthopoulos, in the peristyle of the Parliament.

“The competent investigative authority has not visited the headquarters of the organizations Hellenic Train, ERGOSE, OSE, in order to see, and possibly confiscate, documents or digital material related to the case.

Finally, the “resigned”, in quotes, heads of the OSE and ERGOSE remain in their positions with unlimited access to sensitive material, whatever that entails.

Greek society is looking for answers. No one has the right to play with this huge issue. Legality will prevail in the end” said Mr. Xanthopoulos.

Asked if he believed the tragedy in Tempe was caused by human error, he replied: “Since justice has been served, I am legally incompetent to determine what was at fault. But what I do know is that a huge issue cannot be loaded onto the backs of the last wheel of the train, which is the station master.”
