The secretary of the Parliamentary Group of the SYRIZA-PS, Olga Gerovasili, denies that an EL.AS crane vehicle that swept away bins on Akadimias Street -as seen in the relevant video- during the strike mobilization on Thursday, was moving to retrieve the official her vehicle which had earlier been attacked with broken glass.

In her announcement, Mrs. Gerovasili states: “Under the weight of the severe reactions caused by the publication of a video of the murderous attack of a crane-carrying vehicle of the Hellenic Army, an investigation was allegedly ordered by GADA”. She describes the information as “completely false” that “allegedly the crane vehicle in question was moving on the Academy to retrieve the official escort-security vehicle that had been granted to me and which was attacked today with broken glass” and adds: “Nothing could be more false. At no time did my temporarily parked safety vehicle come to a standstill, but in fact it left the scene on its own and even earlier! Since when does a window need a crane?”

He also argues: “the ‘leaks’ in question, which have already been reproduced in media of a pan-Hellenic reach, are not just random. However, they represent panic moves by the Government which is trying to connect the unrelated and once again to shake off its responsibilities. And they are proof that even this investigation that was allegedly ordered is not going to shed light on the murderous attack of the crane vehicle but is completely sham, to cover up the fact.”

He concludes that “panic is bad counsel for a government that has lost control. We understand them, however, because the person who drowns is caught by his own hair.”
