The entire announcement

“Karamanlis, instead of pressuring the contractors for the security projects, compensated them with millions for the pressures of SYRIZA.

At the time when the contractor company was not progressing a single step with the remote control project, Mr. Karamanlis, instead of pressuring them to complete their contractual obligations, gave them compensation to reward them.

Today the Editors’ Journal reveals that Mr. Karamanlis gave a gift of 3.3 million euros to the contractor company for compensation he was requesting, because the previous administration of OSE – ERGOSE under SYRIZA had started the process of discounting it, due to its inconsistency in the implementation of the project.

Not that we did not know him, but today it is revealed in the most emphatic way what was the real role and priorities of Mr. Karamanlis in the Ministry of Transport.

Not completing security projects, but delaying them by giving away millions to investors and contractors.

Not rail safety, but the deprecation of safety lines, with staff cuts and services being destructured to pave the way for PPPs.”
