“The toxic government representative is once again resorting to his well-known tactics today: attack is the best defense,” SYRIZA-PS underlines in a statement.

“He dares, therefore, for the umpteenth time, to call the crime of Tempe a non-issue. We didn’t hear today about “leeches” (this is his description of the opposition that supports the relatives’ demand for Justice) but about…influencers”, the opposition official points out, commenting that “probably his proposals have not even reached his hands SYRIZA PS”.

“It makes sense since they are carefully hiding them from Maximos”, he adds and addresses the following questions to Mr. Marinakis:

– First, does the government care or not to find out who edited conversations, that is, tampering with the material after an accident that claimed the lives of 57 people? Does he consider it a “non-issue” even after the statements of the CEO of OSE, Mr. Terezakis, on radio SKAI?

– Secondly, what conversation did Mr. Mitsotakis have in mind on March 1, 2023, when he made the statement a few hours after the accident that it was “solely due to human error”. The one that was given to the media on the same day (i.e. the edited one) or the ones that were broadcast in the following days and that he is citing today?

– Thirdly, since yesterday morning when the article of the president of SYRIZA Stefanos Kasselakis was published in “Kathimerini” we have not received an answer to a basic question, while we have heard a lot from Mitsotakis – Marinakis.

“So we bring back the question posed by Stefanos Kasselakis: In his interview with Stavros Theodorakis on Alpha on March 22, 2023, Kyriakos Mitsotakis stated: “We know for sure what the commercial train was carrying. There was nothing flammable. There was nothing suspicious on the commercial train “. Can Kyriakos Mitsotakis repeat the same statement today, a year later, or does he know he was lying? We challenge him to do so”, concludes the announcement of SYRIZA-PS.

The government’s response

Government sources report the following about the SYRIZA announcement:

“Those who campaign on the backs of hurting people and campaign on a tragic accident have the audacity to talk about toxicity.

Today, the Government Spokesperson reiterated the self-evident: that there is no question of editing, that is, of altering information to mislead public opinion about the talks in question.

Nor did any such thing appear from any evidence or any statement.

On the contrary, SYRIZA chose to release another announcement full of lies with a misleading title.”
