In a letter to the Speaker of the Parliament, Mr. Konstantinos Tasoula, the members of the PASOK-Movement for Change members of the investigative committee for the investigation of the tragedy in Tempi, Milena Apostolaki, Giorgos Nikitiadis and Apostolos Panas, request that it be held on February 28, when it is one year since the tragedy in Tempi, a special meeting of the Plenary of the Parliament dedicated to the fatal accident, to observe a minute’s silence, to pronounce the names of our dead fellow citizens from the Bureau, as well as to illuminate the Hall of the Hellenic Parliament with specific reference to the tragic accident.

Here is the text of the PASOK-Movement for Change letter:

Honorable Speaker of the Parliament,

February 28 marks one year since the accident in Tempe in which 57 of our fellow human beings lost their lives.

This is the biggest railway accident in the history of our country.
Knowing that in the past you have practically shown your sensitivity in cases of events that led to the unjust loss of innocent people, we would like to call on you, not only in our capacity as Members of Parliament, but as citizens who remain deeply shocked by this tragic event , to take all the necessary actions so that on the day, which completes one year since the tragic accident in Tempe, on the one hand, there will be a special session of the Plenary of the Parliament dedicated to the tragic accident and a minute’s silence will be observed, and the names will be announced by the Presidium of our dead fellow citizens, as well as lighting up the Hall of the Hellenic Parliament with specific reference to the tragic accident.
Such a highly symbolic move is an indication of the minimum due respect to the memory of the victims. It is also a small contribution to our obligation that no one ever forgets what happened in Tempe on 2/28/2023.

With price,
MILENA APOSTOLAKI
GEORGIOS NIKITIADIS
APOSTOLIS PANAS
the MPs of PASOK – Movement for Change, Members of the Commission of Inquiry to investigate the crime of Tempe and all aspects related to it.
