The government’s intention to bring legislation to “oblige” the Hellenic Train and the Houtos power company, to compensate the relatives of the two employees in the Tempe passenger train canteen, was repeated by the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Mr.

As Mr Kiranakis said, last week he sent a letter “in which I ask for any, completely formal legal obstacles, between the company itself and the contractor, which has the operation of the canteens within its own trains, to be overcome immediately to provide the necessary allowances.” As he pointed out, “If this does not happen in the immediate future, I pledge that in the first bill, which will come from our ministry, the matter will be regulated, along with the Ministry of Labor, to obtain compensation, even if our government is needed by our government.“Mr. Kyranakis said.

It is a moral and political debt of the government to compensate for the relatives of these two dead workers in the canteen, and not to be effectively taken to the courts to receive the compensation they are entitled to, said the questioner, Th. Fotiou. He also stressed that according to the law, there is a “responsibility” of Hellenic Train and Kether’s company for compensation.

“The major thing is that some people, relatives of these victims, feel alone. They feel, as you rightly say, that two companies throw them at each other to avoid compensation. And that is wrong“Mr. Kyranakis said to Ms. Fotiou and continued:”I don’t ask my letter. I demand to compensate. And if they do not, we will bring our own legislation to oblige them to compensate“
