What did the Minister of Citizen Protection said about the end of occupations at HEIs
The Minister of Citizen Protection, Michalis Chrysochoidisplaced in an interview with SKAI on major news issues, opening up the debate on the end of the occupations at HEIs, the worrying increase in traffic accidents, The Fire Brigade finding about the tragedy of the Tempi, but also the new developments around the OPECEPE scandal.
Concerning the tragedy of Tempi, according to which there were no traces of combustion on the machines and wagons of the commercial train, the Minister stressed:
“Obviously the investigation by the Fire Service, as well as the ELAS findings, was based on the course of interrogation. I don’t think it was late. Let us keep an interrogation of the loss of dozens of young children. Let us keep that we have one of the most tragic accidents in Greece and Europe and let us respect the investigator. All those who in recent years have gone to replace the investigator, let them look in the mirror. “
“It’s a very difficult case, let’s not make it worse and more difficult,” he added, speaking to SKAI.
On the issue of violence in universities he said that there is not a single occupation after several years. “There is not a single area of occupied, no small room after decades. And this I think is a conquest of the students, the knowledge and ultimately of the university itself. ” as he said.
“Why did we tolerate these situations for decades? Why was there no will? Because we were all under a regime of obsessions and perceptions that they did not have if they did in the interest of children and education. “
Asked about the traffic, Mr Chrysochoidis emphasized that their growth is not just about policing. “I agree that very strong policing is needed, as well as controls. Let me say an example: Why are we not applying the obligation of the helmet for so many decades? Why doesn’t the police officer react? Because he was also part of a culture, “he said, adding:
“At this time there is a campaign in traffic nationwide. By the end of the year, all Greeks who use a scooter will wear a helmet. It will be fully embedded. “
