“You have tool the Tempi, and you are trying to create – through toxicity – a climate, without being interested in the truth, except to tear down the Mitsotakis government. This is your goal, but not telling us the alternative plan »stressed the Deputy Minister of National Economy & Finance, Nikos Papathanassisplaced in the House on the proposal of no confidence against the government.

Addressing the parties signing the mistrust proposal, and blame the government “That we have ordered, that we have concealed, what you are saying of the place of the accident.”Mr. Papathanassis said that “You created an image that put the toxicity in everyday life. [. . .] And in this toxicity I fell victim to me lately, because you accused me that as a deputy minister at that time (I signed the integration of this project). But you forgot to say that I didn’t even have the responsibility » said Mr. Papathanassis and continued: “Another colleague had the jurisdiction, following the legal procedure, checking the legality and signing the funding of a particular way that the Region demanded, because when such an accident happens, the first concern of the authorities is be able to recover the livingso that they can rescue as many as they can, and then the dead. Each wagon that participated in this tragic accident weighs at least 40 to 50 tonnes. And in order for a telescopic crane to lift it, it must be able to lift at least 80 tonnes. Therefore”he added, “This was the request of the Region, and precisely the content of the technical bulletin is what is included in the decision.”

‘Then’, said the Deputy Minister of National Economy and Finance, “After the money was sent, – I note that you accuse me of, I signed – but that was the legal process, and the colleague who signed it had to do so, because you imagine how unexplained you would blame us if we had not sent money to be able to have the problem. And what did I sign? After the money had been sent and had closed this chapter, I signed the change of completion, administratively, of the project, a completely bureaucratic issue, from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024. Exactly, “word for word”, the content of the region’s request. “

This is the decision, and in all this process, I heard countless times my nameMr Papathanassis said, observing that both SYRIZA and PASOK had gained themselves, and had a public investment program. “And you know very well that the RIP is the overall tool that covers all projects in Greece. There is no more. One is. And under this tool we have the program of natural disasters, the program that runs to cover the earthquake -stricken, our fellow citizens after Daniel, and the emergency schedule. For example, in Santorini, the port that will be done so that people can leave if something happens, where will it be paid? From the PDP. From this everything is paid. And what does that mean? That when funding is approved, we send it to perform a project. From then on, the law on public procurement, Law 4412, and obviously with this law the results are judged. The Ministry of Finance cannot, when he sends money, can be responsible if for example a mayor or regional governor did not do his job well. Do you understand? ” Mr. Papathanassis asked the signatories the proposal of mistrust.

He even stressed that no text was falsified. “And what was the surprise? You said you discovered something. I will go back to the no -confidence sentence last year. All the documents were deposited there. And even Ms. Kostantopoulou said that, because these documents were deposited 12 o’clock, that we came “in secret” to submit the documents. That is, now here we are talking about (at 2am) we are talking in secret! That was what he told us. And I submitted them a second time in the minutes of the House in her timely question » Added Mr. Papathanassis and continued: “The stake is not to confront you. What we are interested in is to learn the truth the Greek people. Because you have trapped him in a vicious cycle of lies and division [. . .] So we will continue the struggle to heal the timeless pathogens. This is our obligation and we will do that. [. . .] We believe that society has a fair requirement to correct errors and omissions without any delay. We will continue our development perspective and continue our reform work. This government, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, tomorrow will be strong again, so We vote against your proposal, we vote against the proposal of the “alliance of the willingness”, and we will continue the work for Greece that deserves all Greeks and Greeks‘ Mr. Papathanassis ended up.

In his speech, the SYRIZA-PS parliamentary spokesman, Chr. Giannoulis asked Mr. Papathanassis if “Did you know when you signed or when Mr Tsakiris signed the original funding, that this is an illegal act?” He also asked if after approval of funding, and extension, “Is it knowledgeable, until the judicial ratification of the illegal act comes, that this is a product of the co -ordination of a coordinating council in which the Prime Minister’s right hand, Mr. Triantopoulos?”

Responding, Mr. Papathanassis said: “Either we have laws in the country or we don’t have. Or we have justice in the country or we don’t have. We do not have justice and laws “a la carte”. What are you asking me? I respect you but I’ll say it. You say all day here, the opposition, that I have signed the integration. Is it or not a lie? Answer me Mr. Giannoulis here and now. Is it or not a lie? If you are honest get up and answer it. The plenary to hear it. I’m waiting for your answer, if it’s a lie or it’s not what sounds all day here. I told you something. In the decision is a word for word, exactly what the Region of Thessaly requested. The money went, and from now on, justice will check, as we said. We do not accept it. We trust justice‘ The Deputy Minister of National Economy and Finance, N. Papathanassis, reiterated.
