On his TV SKAI and in the show “Today»The Minister of National Economy and Finance attended Friday morning Kostis Hatzidakiswho was called upon to comment on the latest developments around the case of Temps, as well as the fierce political confrontation that has erupted again.

“The fact that so many thousands of people went down the street obviously something is saying, this is clear. But before so many people come down on the street, it was again and it is obvious that the issue is too big. It is a tragedy, 57 human lives, most young people, and we cannot remain indifferent. How could it be done differently? ” The minister initially pointed out, adding that “in every tragedy there must be a purification, as it is impossible for public opinion to dive into it if it does not feel that something is happening.”

“Sounds mobilize to my friends to get on the streets”

On the accusations of cover -up, he noted that it would be arrogant, provocative and stupid on the part of the government to do so. “Even if there were some idiots who would like to conceal this thing, what to conceal? There are already persecutions, experts are already looking for them. Many of the findings that come out are the initiative of the government. That of the accident investigation committee is a Council appointed by the government. Now he is preparing his findings. “

Indeed, called upon to comment on MRB’s poll that the vast majority of public opinion expresses strong mistrust of the manipulations of government and justice in the case, Mr Hatzidakis stressed that everywhere in the world when a tragedy is being made. “The government has even brought a special law to go faster. With other large trials, such as in Mati, it took 6 years. Here it is estimated that much faster, within 2 years, the process will begin. But don’t laugh, the videos and sounds that you can’t afford to hear, mobilize my friends who tell you “do something”. And they reasonably say it. “

“There are statements by the Prime Minister himself and in the past that the Inquiry Committees are provoking a party confrontation and conclusion. I also speak as a former MEP. It is certain and we always say that if data from justice are submitted and for politicians, we are also open to a pre -trial committee, ”he underlined and turned his” arrows “to the opposition, saying that he has not requested a pre -trial committee in Parliament for so long. faces are referred.

“There would be no findings if we wanted to cover smuggling – a life lesson or meeting with Mr. Plakias”

About Hellenic Trainexplained that at first she sent a certificate of her own that everything was done well. “I’m not in the case file to know, but it seems that more things happen. If we wanted to conceal and cover a smuggler, again I ask again, why do the placements we have made? They have come out the findings that have come out. Now that we are talking, dozens of prosecutions have been made for OSE executives, ERGOSE, Hellenic Train. So let’s not pretend that we landed now in Greece, it’s not a matter of pressure, but the functioning of justice. “

“I met Father Plakias in Kalambaka months ago. It was a life lesson for me all this. This human pain would have to be a beast to ignore it, and secondly we should be politically stupid to degrade it. This is not hidden, “the minister said, stating that it is self -evident that there are changes if responsibilities arise.

Finally, he clarified that there is no issue of election, commenting that “if the government changes human pain will not be limited”.
