To immediately take a stand and condemn his “despicable” statement Adonis Georgiadis for Tempi, SYRIZA calls on the prime minister, underlining that the labor minister’s subsequent attempt “to justify the unjustified does not convince anyone”.

Sources from Koumoundourou said: “We knew we were dealing with an arrogant and cynical government that was used to targeting and disparaging various social groups in the context of social automation. This time she surpassed even her worst self, reaching the point of hubris towards the dead. The statement of Adonis Georgiadis regarding the actions of the opposition to investigate the tragedy of Tempe and the wiretapping scandal is the epitome of wretchedness and inhumanity. “All the political opponents of Kyriakos Mitsotakis have decided, instead of dealing with what really interests the Greeks, to deal with things that concern no one but their microcosm. That is, today in Greece, how many of our 100 fellow citizens, if we ask them, are interested in an investigative or pre-investigative commission for Tempi?” said the Minister of Labor.

The effort he makes afterwards to justify the unjustifiable does not convince anyone. The Prime Minister of the country must immediately take a position: Why hasn’t Mr. Mitsotakis condemned the despicable statement of the nominated Minister and Vice-President of his party? What is he waiting for? Poll first to gauge the damage it has done to the government? All at the altar of small party interest and communication management? No respect for the memory of the dead?

Faced with this combination of inhumanity, cynicism, self-interest and above all disrespect for the dead from the government, SYRIZA – PS chooses the path of humanity and institutional responsibility. It seeks a full investigation of the Tempe issue, starting with the initiative to set up a preliminary investigation committee.

It demonstrates the same social and institutional responsibility in matters of the rule of law as well as the economy and development. In the context of his continuous initiatives, on the issues of the economy and on the occasion of the tax bill of the government, the President of SYRIZA P-PS Stefanos Kasselakis will have an institutional meeting today with the president G. Hatzitheodosiou and the members of the Board of Directors of the Professional Chamber Athens.

We are firmly by the citizens and their needs. Against the conservative and outdated policies of the Mitsotakis government, we are working for the future of the country, creating wider progressive, social convergences and collaborations”.
