The need for consensus on tackling national tragedies was pointed out by the Minister of Rural Development and Food, Costas Tsiaras, in his speech in discussing the proposal of distrust in Parliament. “I am addressing all colleagues by saying that another opportunity, which would enable us to prove that the political system has moved in the direction of maturity and acceptance – or, much more, the recognition of problems that, for many different reasons, have left to be incubated – it is lost by the initiative. shadow of such a tragic event” The Minister of Rural Development and Food expressed his regret because instead of seeking “a basis for agreement, consensus and consensus of the political parties”, the debate is taking a confrontation.

“I feel very uncomfortable personally to participate in a discussion that takes place in the shadow of such a tragic event, because what we all owe, with the respect we need to show in memory of 57 innocent children and the pain of their own people is to have a completely different parliamentary practice“, He underlined.

Opposition is trying to exploit human pain

The minister stressed that the proposal of mistrust was submitted “just to create a reason for discussion“And he accused the opposition of trying to politically exploit human pain.

“Instead of sitting to see in a serious way what are the problems that exist in Greek society over time and what are the rules that need to be established in order to have complete safety in the railways and transport, we are in a confrontation to see who will win. It’s as if nothing has been taught the opposition from our recent past“, He noted characteristically and made sense that”Everyone who comes in this step and argue with a certain logic of all of them, I think all we actually do is prove that we have not understood anything“

“Greece has ceased to be the pariah of Europe”

Mr. Tsiaras praised the government’s work, noting that “Greece has ceased to be Europe’s parliament “and that” the country has shielded its borders, attracted investments and exploits resources exceeding 36 billion euros from the recovery fund.“, While referring to securing 19.3 billion euros for rural development,” on a personal initiative of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis himself “.

Criticizing the opposition tactics, he said that “if one thinks that it can be found in this stream we lived a few years ago, which some were demonstrating and eventually our country was found somewhere else, it is a development that society itself will not let it happen.”

At the same time, he pointed out that “in a democracy, the role of justice is extremely important” and accused the opposition parties of questioning its operation. “If you consider that with so much ease of parties found in government positions of responsibility they can question the role and presence of justice, then we obviously talk about a democracy with completely different characteristics“He said, addressing SYRIZA and PASOK MPs.

Concluding his speech, the Minister of Rural Development and Food emphasized that the government has produced “a very important project” and has created “a stability in the country that has been missing for many years”. He assured that the New Democracy will give the response to society: “Tomorrow night, the New Democracy parliamentary group will give the answer that society is waiting for.”
