“I will contribute with all my strength to the programmatic and organizational formation of SYRIZA, so that it will soon be the alternative choice to the New Democracy that the people have decided to govern us in the next four years.” This was stated, in the context of the discussion of the programmatic statements of the government, by the Member of Parliament of Chania of the official opposition party, Pavlos Polakis.

Speaking about EKAV, he said that when we took it over in 2015, within memorandums, it had 3,950 workers and 650 old ambulances, When we handed it over in 2019, it had 4,230 workers, and we had replaced 327 ambulances. He even noted that, in its four years, ND replaced only 60 of the 128 ambulances that we had planned, with the two tenders in the regions of Central Greece and Central Macedonia.

Specifically for Athens, he said that when we handed over the EKAV in July 2019, in Athens, – that’s why what happened in Nea Makri and Peristeri – there were 65 emergency ambulances, 9 units and 10 emergency ambulances circulating in the morning and afternoon shifts of incidents (total 84). In the evening there were 37 to 40 vehicles, in which there were 5 to 6 units. How many have been released to this day on ND? Unfortunately only 52, i.e. 42 ambulances, 6 units, and 4 year incidents in morning and afternoon shift. And at night, about the same as us, i.e. 35 to 37. “This is the reason, and the same is happening all over Greece, that in the last month we have had 7 incidents of deaths while waiting for the EMS,” said Mr. Polakis.
