The view that “there are specific responsibilities” for tragedy in Tempe and that “everyone is to blame in general and vaguely and no one in particular” expressed the president of SYRIZA-PS, speaking today in the Parliament during the debate of the bill on support measures for those affected.

“We are here today to talk about the wound that opened a month ago in Tempe. With respect and sensitivity. Because this wound remains open. It does not close for the 57 families who lost their people. It does not close for any of us,” he said The Al. Tsipras starting his speech, while he emphasized that “the need for respect and sensitivity becomes a hundred times more imperative, when universal mourning turns into universal anger and a demand for truth and justice”.

The president of SYRIZA-PS stated that “today the grieving families”, “the young men and women who demonstrated for days in all the cities and faced the chemicals and tear gas”, “the whole of Greek society” have this demand. , stressing that there is a “duty to give space to light and truth”.

“And there are specific responsibilities that must be assigned. Not everyone is to blame in general and vague and no one in particular. There are specific strategic choices, which left the rail network in complete disrepair. To reach the unthinkable: Two trains for 12 minutes heading on the same line one towards the other”, he underlined and added: “And at the end of the day, this debt is the ultimate debt to the people who were unjustly lost. The practical respect to their memory”.

“Unfortunately, however, the government has decided to walk, and in this tragic event, on the same path it walked for four years. Against the truth. Against responsibility. Against justice,” he commented.
