“The cover-up tactics of the governing majority are insulting to the memory of the victims of the Tempe train tragedy, the pain of their families and society’s collective demand for accountability and justice“, PASOK MPs who are members of the commission of inquiry “to investigate the crime of Tempe” state in their statement.

In their announcement, which was issued after yesterday’s appearance as a witness at the commission of inquiry, of former Minister of Infrastructure, Transport & Networks, D. Reppa, report that: “The government’s strategic plan to diffuse responsibilities is in full swing. In this context, witnesses with tenure decades ago in the OSE and the Ministry of Transport are called, while at the same time the invitation and testimony of witnesses who held positions in critical periods of time directly related to the railway accident and whose testimony will shed light on the responsibilities is excluded and the criminal omissions and omissions that led to the tragedy.”

As they note, “it is crucial to attribute the responsibilities to those responsible and to invite important witnesses to the committee, such as Mr. Spiliopoulos, Katsioulis, Gerontidou, Diakomanolis, Genidounias, Leventis, Varelas and Tsikalakis”.

They emphasize that “PASOK-Movement for Change will fight in order to prevent their silencing and the concerted cover-up effort by New Democracy”.

Finally, “regarding the ex post facto leak by the governing majority regarding the deposition of Dimitris Reppas, let us note that the New Democracy which in 2009 it handed over OSE with an accumulated debt of 10.7 billion eurosand while in 2023 he was operating the OSE without traffic safety valves and with 50% of the staff positions that were fully staffed in 2010 empty, he is now turning against Law 3891/10 which he had …overvoted!”
