“They are playing with our lives everywhere. Everywhere we are exposed to unmaintained and dangerous infrastructure. The last case of the canopy at the Olympic Stadium in Athens!” mentions the KKE in its announcement “about the static problems in the roof of the OAKA and the suspension of its operation” and points out:

“The government has huge responsibilities because it knew. He knew both the problems and the warnings. Some time ago, the head of the Central Committee of the KKE, Dimitris Koutsoumbas, in an article referred to the state of the Olympic facilities because after 2004 the infrastructures “paid for in gold” by the Greek people, instead of being given to the people and the youth, were left to their fate their. “Others today are carcasses, others were given to private individuals and companies “in exchange for a license plate” and others to municipalities that find it difficult to maintain them without resources”.

And then the inexplicable former Deputy Minister of Sports, Mr. Avgenakis, called us “unreadable”.

The questions are relentless:

–Weren’t they aware of the situation when last December the prime minister presented with a fiesta the so-called exploitation of the Olympic facilities?

–Didn’t they know about the study at OAKA?

–Didn’t they know the situation in other facilities, such as in Kautanzoglio, which was not licensed due to inadequacy?

–How did they let almost a year go by leaving thousands of spectators and athletes exposed? Notably, 120,000 spectators were recently at OAKA.

–Didn’t they ever read the warnings from the sports world that the OAKA has been unmaintained since 2004, just like the canopy?”

“The government has great responsibilities, as all governments have had responsibilities since 2004 when they left the facilities to their fate. The self-explanatory control should not only concern OAKA, but all sports facilities. Control and maintenance here and now, so that we don’t mourn victims in sports too!” concludes the statement of the KKE.
