K. Karamanlis: "I submit myself to justice"

Former Transport Minister Kostas Karamanlis in his speech today placed himself at the disposal of justice in connection with the accident in Tempi, and this step could lead to the creation of a Preliminary Investigation Committee, and the government wants to avoid this like hell, because no one knows how it will end.

Mr Karamanlis will speak in parliament today during the debate on the impeachment motion, nominated by PASOK on Tuesdayand stated that he is absolutely ready to give any explanation to the judiciary regarding the 717 contract and on any question asked.

In fact, Mr. Karamanlis admits that took on political responsibility for the national tragedy of February 28, 2023, and for this reason the government is now “with trepidation” about the further development of the case. Why? Because they don't know what the former minister will say and declare, who reportedly spoke to the former prime minister and Karamanlis' cousin, pushing him to “clear” the family name.

The Mitsotakis side would like to the former minister fell silent, but Karamanlis's side no longer seems to want to take on the “sins” of others, as they say. “I did not hide, am not hiding and will not hide behind any parliamentary immunity,” said former transport minister Costas Ach. Karamanlis during the debate on the vote of no confidence, nominated PASOK, SYRIZA, the New Left and the Freedom Course in connection with the Tempi tragedy.

Karamanlis mentioned the personal attacks he had suffered over the past year, said they targeted the government and New Democracy, and mentioned Mati, saying that when he and the prime minister went to the scene of the tragedy a few hours after it, “They didn't put on a show like they did in Mati.” “Whoever has charges against me, bring them, I am here, we are all here”– he said.

• There were many fatal mistakes, and more than one. General railway traffic rules were violated seven times.
• You know that you present to citizens as a matter of course the safety systems that exist on 15% of European railways.
• You are accusing us of hiding the facts when I immediately resigned. I took on political responsibility, which, by definition, is objective.
