The responsibilities of the Ministry of Culture for the collapse in Knossos A copy of mosaic from the time of Arthur Evans’ excavation research At the beginning of the 20th century as well as for advertising drone show Above the Acropolis, the PASOK President of Change, during his interview with reporters Spyros Haritatos and Chrysa Foskol on the Oren TV station.
“The Ministry of Culture is accountable in both cases. Because in one case you have to ensure respect for the Acropolis monument and In the other case you must ensure that Knossos, one of the most important archaeological sites in the country, It will be maintained and will not be in this situation that exposes the country internationally, “Nikos Androulakis stressed, and insisted more than:” It is a government of limited responsibility. Whenever something happens, the existing ones are to blame or anyone else. They never take responsibility. “
“It is good to remember that in similar cases Mr Mitsotakis personally, as leader of the opposition, was constantly seeking resignations. Remember them all. Personally, I say this: The Minister must take responsibility. It is inconceivable what has happened in Knossos and the ministry must Explain why it happened and, in fact, at a time when thousands of people visit the monument daily to see our cultural heritage. So the minister must apologize immediately, “he said.
The opposition leader said that the PASOK request for the establishment of a pre -trial committee would be lodged on Monday and as a toward its legal rationale He noted: “There was a ministry’s political leadership information on the danger of the network and the security issues that existed. And it allowed thousands of people to use the Athens-Thessaloniki line, endangering their lives and their physical integrity. Therefore, the situation that allowed to exist has led to the tragedy, and therefore to the death of the people. This is our reasoning and based on this we will submit a pre -trial for politicians. “
He responded to the government’s claim of non -concealment: “Because I am constantly listening to government officials in the panels:” Why do they accuse us of concealment? ” I ask a simple question: When a case file comes from European justice and states that the Minister’s responsibilities for Convention 717 should be investigated and the government is voting negatively, is this concealment? Yes or no? “
In addition, the K. Androulakis has described the government’s communication attack on the part of the government “Unthinkable with 57 dead. Such cynicism. Their political behavior is unacceptable, it is unethical. “
“I did not arrange the official state finding, but the organization that the New Democracy voted and staffed. The “Gospel”! And, in fact, my prime minister used to say to the House: “You will accept it all, word-word” and complained to me why we did not vote for EPANAAM. We only made no confidence in the elements of the state finding, the “Gospel” and denounces us as populists. That is, they deconstruct and attack the state finding that those who applied! Today is another finding that what does it say? That there is a possibility that the fireplace may come from machine oils. The previous one said “I give no possibility, unknown fuel” and they are celebrating, “he added.
Mr Androulakis was particularly critical of how the government is exercising power: “My view is that this system of power that rules us is cynical and dangerous. The country is “hungry”. “Hungary” is not done from day to day, is done with gradual steps in control of justice, media, of the dominant view. One of the main stages is to cultivate the impression that there is no serious opposition, so what does Mr Mitsotakis and his company say? “Did you catch us for corruption?
Has the NHS collapsed? Has public education collapsed? Do we make presidential decrees that extinguish your property? Make the wrong eyes and vote for us, because there is no other party to rule ”. Such a system does not want a serious, reliable, programmatic opposition to him, so there is such a targeting in our efforts. And something else: There is a political and moral issue. I have nothing to do with all of them. I gave a personal fight throughout my course. I haven’t got into any elevator of domestic oligarchy. “
On economy issues, Mr. Androulakis insisted: “The political change I am proclaimed, ends the oligopolies of banks, ferry, food trading, energy, health. Because we have a policy that puts rules on the market. “
“Do you know that the State’s overdue to individuals reached 2.5 billion? Therefore, the state does not pay and increase the debts of the Greek people, private debt. They do not pay to display surplus and the rest are faced with funds, red loans, debts to EFKA and tax office … We took the initiative to the House: 120 installments for everyone, to make the market, All small and medium -sized enterprises. Secondly, we proposed to adopt the law so that the borrower knows the whole route of his loan and how by rules he would negotiate the solution and regulation rather than his extermination from the funds. “
Mr. Androulakis reminded that last year raised the problem of ratings on ferry tickets To the Chairman of the Competition Committee: “This year there is a statement from the Competition Committee that there is an oligopoly and 60% are controlled by two big players. But what will happen? Will fines come in?
So we have an under-staffed Competition Committee that will put some fines after two or three years … The Greek people have paid millions of more than five years. So, here we want to strengthen the control mechanisms, broaden the competence of the Competition Committee, so that when there is a oligopolistic practice or cartel, fines will be entered. “
Regarding the night amendment that allows for the involvement of relatives of politicians in foreign companies, he said: “I cannot guess who they are going to cover or who they are going to rinse. I have no divine abilities. But I want to tell you that in a similar initiative in 2016, Mr. Mitsotakis was saying what I am saying today. New Democracy came on 12 and brings an amendment to an irrelevant bill. – Top the transparency of the political world – to allow first -degree spouses and relatives to have offshore companies in countries that have tax agreements with Greece. This is not a small change, it is a huge change in how political money control. Is it possible to bring this huge change to 12 but without any consultation? “
Regarding the Presidential Decree that depreciated the ownership of thousands of small owners, it made the backlash for the paradox of government decisions: “Do you stay in the big urban centers? 50% rent increase. Do you stay in a settlement under 2,000 inhabitants? Your plot became a parcel. But are these serious things? In a country where the region is deserted and one of the big bets is demographic and regional development, The government comes and depreciates people’s property, not being able to build a house in these settlements. These are unthinkable things. And I am committed: We are working to take a parliamentary initiative to address this enormous injustice that concerns thousands of small owners. “
Closing the opposition leader He referred to Gaza.
“In Gaza, an ethnic cleansing is evolving. You know, Strategic Relations with Israel started by PASOK 15 years ago. Another to have relationships With a country and another to turn a blind eye to a huge humanitarian issue which leads to ethnic cleansing, resulting in hundreds of thousands of people having lost their lives and has huge responsibilities and the European Union, which must take an entire initiative to finally be a ceasefire. And without the Palestinian state, no Israel will have security. Finally let’s respect the UN resolutions. “
