Request for recommendation Pre-investigation Committee “for convention 717/2014 and its extension, for the criminal collision of trains in Tempe and the tragic death of 57 of our fellow human beings” reports SYRIZA-PS today, according to party sources. “Whoever is legally, politically and morally blameless, who is not afraid of the truth and looks the victims’ relatives and the Greek people in the eye, can only follow this path. Anyone, on the contrary, who wants to muddy the waters in order to cloud both the truth and the real responsibilities, then resorts to “striving through the investigation”, which will start from 1997 and will end in the strange partnership ND-KKE”, they comment said sources and continue:

“When the European Public Prosecutor’s Officewho has done research for a year by studying the previously formed case file for contract 717/2014 that had been entered into the file, came to the conclusion that it has come to the Parliament since 10-7-2023 to talk about specific criminal responsibilities of political figures and indeed for Mr. Konstantinos Karamanlis of Achilleos for serious indications of responsibilities for criminal infidelity, to speak of a commission of inquiry constitutes contempt for the specific findings of the European Public Prosecutor’s Authority and a reprehensible decision that de facto leads to the concealment of the real responsibilities of the tragedy”.

“We will insist to the end on the need for a full investigation into the real causes of the train collision and attribution of responsibility. We owe it to the memory of the victims. We owe it to the injured and the survivors who live with the nightmare of the dramatic memory. We owe it to the victims’ relatives. We owe it to all Greek citizens who demand justice. We do not tolerate the vulgarity and inhumanity of Mr. Adonis Georgiadis. The invocation of the ND’s electoral victory is not a washing machine for the guilty and arrogant. No one forgets, no one will forget. All in the open,” his sources add SYRIZA.

Regarding today’s meeting of Stefanos Kasselakis with the Ombudsman, the same sources note: “the president of SYRIZA-PS, continuing his cycle of institutional contacts, met today in the Parliament with the Ombudsman. The support and protection of the prestige of the Independent Authorities, which are attacked daily by the anti-institutional practices of the government and the Prime Minister personally, is a top priority for SYRIZA-PS. Stefanos Kasselakis made it clear that with a SYRIZA-PS government, the Independent Authorities will be strengthened and will be truly independent without government interference in their work.” “He made special reference to the issue of the shipwreck outside Pylos, stressing that it is a matter of humanity to shed light on this case that took place in the search and rescue zone of Greece. He clarified at the same time that there is a political responsibility which rests exclusively on the government and not on the people of the Coast Guard who are heroes and on the front line following the orders of their political superiors”, the SYRIZA sources conclude.
