“Yesterday was a dark day for parliament and democracy, the opposition is flirting and flattering the absurd,” the education minister commented
For the private universities, Sorbonnethe Publicly and Standard Schoolsas well as for the Tempi and the categories of opposition parties for the death of Santa Claus The Minister of Education was placed, Kyriakos Pierrakakisspeaking to SKAI and to ‘Today»With them Dimitris Economou and Aki Pavlopoulos.
“First of all we are talking about the loss of a young man and I want to express my sincere condolences to his family and his relatives,” the minister initially said, describing yesterday’s “dark” day for the Greek Parliament and the Hellenic Republic.
“Absolutely vulgar and crazy what the opposition said in the House”
“I heard with great care what the opposition said and I think what he said was absolutely vulgar. And it is vulgar no matter who rules, no matter who the opposition. It is not possible for the opposition to leave hints that a government can associate its practice and function with the loss of a new child. These things are crazy and there is an opposition that flirts with madness and absurd, flattering it. This thing beyond furious and unacceptable is also dangerous. They are subversive for the way democracy works, “he said, adding:
“I heard Mr. Velopoulos, Mr. Androulakis and Mr. Famello saying the same thing, that they do not trust justice. They did not say “we want to see some changes in the way justice works”. So what? What is the logical consequence? To take the law in his hands? Do the jungle law apply? What do they want? How do they imagine a European country of 2025 to operate and where does this drive? The darkest pages of the Hellenic Republic in its 50 years were the pages in which some opposition parties came and some politicians to invest in human pain and toxicity and reproduce it. Did this go well for the country? We turned a page. As for us, we will not tolerate any hint. “
At the same time, he pointed out that the Tempe tragedy left a “bleeding wound, which must be closed and we will do everything”. “I will not judge either those elements that reinforce the claim that there was flammable train material, nor those that degrade this claim. I will wait for justice. So you do in a European country: you trust justice, as opposed to those who do not trust it, and you expect to see where it will end up. Our job, the government’s job is to ensure that what happened will not happen again. “
About establishment of non -state universities and the advent of Sorbonne In Greece, Mr. Pierrakakis commented that “I knew that there was a murder of characters in politics, PASOK what he taught us is that there is a murder of universities.”
“Whether it’s’ it’s not a Sorbonne, put someone from the control to get on the university site. The Foundation made a statement yesterday that it belongs to 4.4% of the best universities in the world, being one of the 13 universities that succeeded Sorbonne in 1970 with a history of 50 years. These people have said they will come to Greece and make an investment of 25 million euros and at Campus level for the next 5 years. If it is good, you will see it from the competent independent authority. It sounds good to me that one university wants to come to my country. Doesn’t Mr. Androulakis make this university? Does he want another one? “
At the same time, he accused PASOK for “vertigo” on this issue. “In Parliament when we passed the law on non -state universities, it was in favor of non -state universities, but not these non -state universities. Then we opened the issue of IB, the International Bachelor’s Degree. The PASOK sector has made a statement that it was against IB, I went to the House and reminded them that the provision for the international Baccalaureate had been voted by George Papandreou as Minister of Education in the government of Andrea Papandreou. “
