SYRIZA-PS launches a fierce attack on New Democracy and personally on the party’s strategic planning secretary, Vassilis Feygas, on the occasion of his statement on Action 24 TV, regarding the protests in Syntagma Square.

As the SYRIZA-PS press office comments, Mr. Feugas, trying to disapprove of the mobilizations, such as those of the parents of the victims of the accident in Tempi, argued that “these children did not fall for their country”.

“This is yet another inflated, insulting and callous statement by government officials about this crime,” SYRIZA emphasizes.

“However, we remind Mr. Feigas”, the announcement continues, “that the parents, siblings, relatives of the 57 dead and also the survivors of the accident are wondering for whom and why their own people “fell”. And it is his own party, his own government and his own prime minister who orchestrate the cover-up, distort the truth, hide responsibility and, at the same time, at every opportunity, insult the memory of the dead.”

The party points out that the statement of Mr. Feigas is part of a “series of extreme and toxic behaviors” of New Democracy, after the hunger strike of Panos Routsi.

The announcement also refers to previous statements and positions of government officials, such as that of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis regarding the monument to the Unknown Soldier, but also to requests to “delete” the names of the 57 victims.

SYRIZA concludes by saying: “It would be fair if Feigas left the ND. But how to leave, when they all – almost – with the known exceptions, have these opinions
