The postponement of the cabinet meeting was announced today at the briefing by the government representative, Pavlos Marinakis, pending the start of the debate in Parliament on the motion of no confidence that PASOK is expected to table later today.

The cabinet meeting is expected to take place after the debate in Parliament.

“We all want answers to be given and abundant light to be shed by Justice. The publication of the newspaper ‘To Vima tis Kyriakis’ attempted in a misleading way to cast doubt on how the argument about human error was conveyed. No one disputes that the judicial investigation proceeded with the full evidence and that for the time being at least it concluded that human error contributed, of course other aspects of the tragedy are also being examined,” noted the government representative, Pavlos Marinakis, answering questions at the political editors’ briefing.

Mr. Marinakis, answering relevant questions, denied that there was an attempt by the government to manipulate public opinion, since as he said, since noon of the same day the media had broadcast that the station master had confessed his mistakes. “Next comes the willing Mr. Androulakis to file a no-confidence motion, when we talk about a specific newspaper we don’t speak vaguely, we don’t attack people, we cite facts and talk about matching interests. A report comes out that is deconstructed point by point, and then a political leader rushes to table a motion of no confidence. Connect the dots and you will understand,” said the government representative.

Mr. Marinakis insisted that the arguments are overwhelming and stressed that we should let the judiciary do its job. “Let it be an opportunity to realize how easily lies are circulated. Let’s let the Judges do their job, not all issues are suitable for political confrontation”, said Mr. Marinakis.

“Kasselakis knowingly undermines the state”

In a question about the statements of the president of SYRIZA, Mr. Marinakis accused Mr. Kasselakis of consciously becoming an underminer of the state and emphasized that “he goes on another track and from political ridicule becomes an underminer of the state. “I consider that these statements do not express the majority of SYRIZA executives,” said the government representative.
