There was a fierce confrontation in plenary on the occasion of the Train’s co -operation with an IX in Patras, with the thermometer hitting “red” between Deputy Minister of Transport, Konstantinos Kyranakis and the Secretary -General of the KKE.

It all started when Mr Kyranakis lifted the glove to the KKE criticism, stressing that according to the related video of the conflict “it is a level crossing with an automatic system and an IX that for an unknown reason has exceeded the bars without braking and colliding”. In fact, he added that 5 days ago the mayor of the city had received a letter from the drivers’ associations warning that interventions were needed by the municipality “because there is a matter of visibility”.

“I also sent a letter to the mayors and to Peletidis after the vote of the new KOK, explaining what municipalities should do. Transfer to Mr. Peletidis the necessary measures to take. OSE has a job to do, but at this point it has put an automatic bar, cameras – that we now understand why the KKE has not voted – sounding and photographing. The Municipality of Patras, like the other municipalities, must also do their job, “Mr Kyranakis emphasized, provoking the angry reaction of the KKE MPs.

“I didn’t expect anything. The same tactic always. Always convey criminal responsibility for the state of public transport elsewhere, “D. Koutsoubas replied, adding that Patras mayor had taken action. “We always find a mayor, a driver, a commander to postpone the responsibilities. You have to be ashamed! “He said. Mr Kiranakis returned, stressing that the drivers themselves ask the municipality to intervene. “The automatic bar had been placed and it was closed normally. Why has the municipality do not do his job? “He asked.” The minister is brazen! Peletidis resolves these issues. We are not the Popular Assembly nor the Patras Municipal Council here! Here is the House. You apologize for what money you give to local government. You’re not ashamed for a while, you are brazen! “Dimitris Koutsoubas stressed. “Tell your leader to answer me. And the conversation with you for a long time! “The Secretary General concluded.
