His resignation was announced by Christos Triantopoulos, Deputy Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection in view of Tempi Pre -Trials.

The Magnesia MP in a statement announced that he would resign from the post of deputy minister when he is set up Special parliamentary committee To conduct a preliminary examination on the tragedy in Tempi, “to facilitate the process and work of the government”.

It is recalled that PASOK made a proposal yesterday to set up a pre -trial committee on the Railway Tragedy in Tempi.

However, he supports’How all that is mentioned, to me, is out of all reality and logic“, While PASOK’s proposal notes that it proves”his dedication to the target of the unnecessary tooling of the tragedy by describing unfounded accusations attributed to me“Adding that he himself will oppose” the truth, the evidence and the events. “

Mr Triantopoulos’s statement:

“Throughout my participation in the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, but also in my parliamentary presence as an elected member of Parliament with the New Democracy, I have chosen low tones and dedication to duty. My course, politically and personally, is possessed by a sense of responsibility and respect for the institutions, according to my personal and political morality.

In the proposal to set up a pre -trial committee with which PASOK demonizes our presence in the crash of the accident by proving its commitment to the target of the unnecessary tooling of tragedy, describing unfounded accusations that I have to oppose the truth, the evidence and the facts .

With respect to the victims of tragedy and their relatives, as well as in the institutional processes and their representatives.

I make it clear that all that is mentioned, in terms of me, is out of all reality and logic. My presence, with a government step, in the field of accident, even after the tragic accident, and arbitrary speculations about its reasons, today are used for micro -political reasons, as an argument of a supposed, and in fact non -existent, “concealment” . It is implied, and its government and its executives were deliberately operating in order to “conceal” unspecified illegal activities, and indefinable culprits. Who, and why? Unknown.

Then, those critical moments, when we were all shocked, everyone was trying to help. Today, afterwards and with the security of the opposition, it is presented as a certainty that its government and its executives were acting as commonplace, and with the aim of “concealment”.

My presence in the area was known, transparent and recorded, with interviews and press releases publicly publicly publicized.

It is also well known that the visit of the government staircase was made after the first days of the incident, by extension without participating in coordinated operational decisions in the field of accident, which was a work of operational and officials from the first moment. , that is, at a time when the step had not even gone there. These decisions and actions were made clear from the joint announcement of the relevant officials from day one and had concerned, in addition to rescuing and releasing the sufferers, and releasing the railway line.

The on -site presence of the government scale, with each member having specific powers, depending on his ministry’s portfolio, was policy. Without intervention in the work of service and operational agents, which had already begun in the first moment of the tragedy. The step had to be present, and it was. He went to assist where needed, in response to the demands of those difficult days.

For my part, and as I have mentioned in my public placements in the House, being the Undersecretary of State for the Prime Minister, I focused on two parts. First, in organizing state aid and support for the families of the victims. We have, therefore, worked with the Ministries responsible for coordinating such issues, up to the formation of the support measures for the relatives of the deceased and the injured. These measures were announced a few days later, with the cooperation of all Ministries involved, including a special assistance line.

Secondly, in the progress of the work of business agents, I participated in the information – with television statements and press releases – on the progress of actions in the field, in accordance with the information from the competent officials who are also responsible for them. In this context, information has been made public, inter alia, on the identification of the deceased, the development of the health of the hospitalized, and the course of the railway rehabilitation.

The reference to the existence of fraud, even as an unproven case that is not based on events, which is not substantiated by evidence, and which is not in line with logic, but which hypothetically has led to “concealment” actions, is extremely offensive.

I am actively presenting the restoration of truth, based on logic, evidence and events.

And, of course, with the decision to set up the Commission I will resign as the position of Deputy Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection to facilitate the process and work of the government. “

What did he say to the House of Representatives after the resignation announcement

Following the announcement of Mr Triantopoulos’ resignation, several ND members rushed to the House of Representatives to find out details from him.

Speaking to parliamentary authors, the deputy minister was enough to say: “I have nothing else to say, what I had to say in my statement. It’s all clear. “
