K. Mitsotakis’s indirect blaming of former Prime Minister Samaras for the Tempi rail disaster is unfair and even slanderous, at least in the sense that “I apologize both personally and on behalf of all those who ruled the country during many years.” About it writes the publication pronews.
The accusations of Antonis Samaras are very specific and clearly opposed to a number of actions of his government, consider Greek journalists.
The publication draws attention to the fact that in September 2014 the government of Samaras signed a contract (AS717), which concerned the security of the network of the then ose. The contract was worth 41 million euros and was intended to overhaul 52 existing warning systems on the country’s railway lines. The project implementation period was 2 years and ended in 2017. By that time, the Syriza government, which came to power in 2015, had implemented 32% of the project.
Since 2019, when the Mitsotakis government came to power, the project has been completely stopped, and since then no one cared about the safety of the railway network. We saw the tragic results of inaction on the night of March 1st.
This is for those who talk about an accident when it was clearly a crime! And despite the fact that the government is trying to find “accomplices in the crime”, it is almost entirely responsible for it, the authors of the publication emphasize.
