“We would expect from SYRIZA and Mr. Tsipras, in front of the human drama of the victims of Tempe and their families, to show at least a little respect without using them as a tool,” the government representative said in a statement Akis Schertsos. “But the political grave-digging and pre-election despair of the opposition has no limits, and he comes to confirm just a few hours after exactly what the prime minister said in his interview with ANT1,” he declares.

“Whoever watched the interview saw that the prime minister answered two questions at the same time about the railway strike and about the lawsuit by the families of the victims and said the obvious: That this particular strike, a few days before the elections, is an instrumentalization of the tragedy that offends in the first place the relatives of the victims. In other words, the prime minister considered the strike of the railway workers as “unjustified” and not the lawsuit of the relatives – as SYRIZA supports – to whom, in the next point, he said that he fully supports the rapid and complete clarification of the case from justice,” he adds.

“However, the “cutting edge” of political desperation and the shameless propaganda of Koumoundourou does not amount to nothing. Everything has a limit Mr. Tsipras. Enough with your grave digging…”, concludes Mr. Skertsos.
