The former governor of Attica, Rena Dourou, attributed the severity of the phenomenon to the tragic consequences of the deadly flood in Mandra in 2017. court trying to convince the judges that she was not responsible.
“I feel the need,” she said, beginning her apology, to tell you that this catastrophe in Mandra was an unprecedented disaster and a tragedy that shocked us all. I feel I stand before you for responsibilities that do not belong to me. I understand that there are responsibilities in such a case, but it does not save and it is good to sacrifice someone like another Iphigenia “.
She added that she assumes political responsibility, but not criminal responsibility. “Seeking the responsibility of others in the governor violates the principle of security and legality, however I will refer to the category one by one because I want to oppose them one by one. “Although it was not my responsibility, I stand before you, taking the political responsibility of the governor, I never resist it, but political responsibility does not imply criminal responsibility,” he told the court. take criminal responsibility and I take responsibility for their actions “.

“Mr. Tzitzikostas came in front of you and described to you that all the regional governors know the picture, but it would be impossible for them to know each project separately and technical details. For this project I was never told about the issue of delay for this project. This does not mean that I say that someone else is to blame for the technical services, because if we take the dates there was no delay in the execution of the project “explained the former governor of Attica and added that” the project was never declared or there was a delay, since pyramid did not come to tell me that it is late “. In fact, he brought as an example a similar work in Hamosternas that was found ancient and there was a delay.

The accused also referred to the actions of the previous administrations concerning 2014, but also to the period that she had just taken over in September of the same year. “The indictment talks about my omission on 1/9 of 2014, that is, as soon as I entered my office and accuses me of a study that I had to check because the limits were not correct by the researcher.”
