“The responsibility of the Board of Directors of EPANAAM is a given »
“Another thing is to investigate the responsibilities of Tempi and another is the narrative, the false narrative of deliberate concealment and all that has been said. Where are we today? One element comes out after another and crushes the narrative of the concealment. Not the responsibilities of the Tempi, the concealment. Seven expertise in the case file. Experts that were at demands, not the government or defense lawyers, a series of expertise: the one requested by the Athens Bar Association, the one requested by relatives of the victims, others we did not know. That some did not show them to make impressions. And, we go to EPANAAM. Is it a conquest that we have an independent investigation organization while we didn’t have, staffed, for the country? It is, ”the deputy minister, under the prime minister and a government spokesman Paul Marinakis In an interview with Open.
“THE OPANAAM He was set up and staffed by his Board of Directors after many years by our government. In September, the three -member committee of experts, the experts, who appointed the Board of Directors, began to investigate, after the election of 2023. The tragic accident of the Tempi. After a very long time, then, when we all waited, there was a presentation one day – if I’m not mistaken – it was, before the second, the big rally of both Athens and all the rest of Greece. At the time of the presentation, I remember that after a while I had been informing political editors and saw it, the PASOK president said he would make a proposal for no confidence, “he added.
Mr Marinakis emphasized that the PASOK president said he would make a proposal for no confidence, the leading parliamentary weapon of an opposition party, based not on the finding, on a piece of the finding that spoke of flammable matter and excluded the oils.
“PASOK with its associates, Mrs Konstantopoulou, SYRIZA, the New Left, the old SYRIZA, that is, they worked on the proposal of mistrust. I do not know if they will work together in the future, “he said, stressing,” a text that was talking about crime, a text that was talking about concealment, a text that was talking about a jerk. This says from below, it has the signatures of MPs and PASOK. “
Also the government spokesman said: “Two universities came and said that the names of these universities were wrongly mentioned and that we had not given this consent. This is essentially, up and down both, and Ghent and Pisa. So we come to the responsibility, as the opposition, says, of the government. What to do the government? The government the day before the presentation of the finding, two days, a week before, intervening and demanding that the report on the illegal burden be left out of the conclusion, because it believed that there was no consent of a foreign university who did not know yet? “
“First, he didn’t know it. Even he knew, if the government was asking for something, what would it be? Masking! What did the government do? As it seems afterwards, the opposite proves. It was incomplete. Because a serious government in the judicial investigation – judicial – and in the investigation of the experts, the EPAAAM, the Technical University and goes by saying, takes ten steps back, lets them do their job and be judged for both their rights and mistakes. If you see the correspondence of the University of Pisa with EPANAAM, what does it say? That had been made a phone to the Belgian expert, if I am not mistaken or Pisa or Ghent, a few days before and told him not to be included. And then, it was done what happened to the Board of Directors, requested by the EPAAAM Board of Directors by scientists not to be included and rejected it. This was the day before. This, neither was the knowledge of the government, nor did anyone get- I heard before one of the representatives, to say “why didn’t anyone get the minister to tell him that there is this problem.” It is not the job of ministers to intervene, neither in justice, nor in independent organizations, ”he added.
Asked about Mr Papadimitriou’s statements, the government spokesman said: “The truth is that behavior, manipulations, interviews, all this extroversion raises reasonable questions and reasonable demands.” “What will happen in the end will be decided competently,” stressing that he should go to the prosecutor after being threatened.
“The responsibility of the Board of Ekasam is a given”
On the election of the President of EPANAAM, Mr. Marinakis said that “first it seems that even the old -fashioned that the government did not go to cover up and secondly there are very serious questions about Mr Papadimitriou’s behavior” and added: “I do not reset anything. Beyond the part of the fireplace, nothing else has been disputed in the finding. If a finding has to change at some point by experts. The responsibility of the Board is a given, what will happen will be decided by the authorities. Some decisions must be made by scientists on the finding and the government on the BoD and the role of Mr Papadimitriou. “
“We accept any political criticism, the toughest criticism. When they accuse you of concealing a smuggling that does not exist. When they accuse you of questions, I am referring to Mr Famello and those who have traveled, because this was then moved. For a man who was found dead, then “the track changes”. The track has changed these last two months, so you see me. It was not the track of the harsh political confrontation, we entered the slander track and you know something, because we all have children and families, I will never forget, not the one who made political criticism, not the one who reacted against me and attacked me politically. I will never forget those who cut our answers, who put words in our mouths in relatives, words we never said. We were talking to the opposition and some were turning them into relatives. I will never forget those who said, not only to me personally, to all of us, that we have concealed, because now that this narrative is collapsing, we must not forget, you know why? Not to experience them again, “the government spokesman said.
He pointed out that “The major thing is that of what we see with EPANAAM, the narrative of concealment collapses.”. “At the moment, it is a part of the finding that refers to the fireplace. There is no question by anyone in the rest of the finding. From no scientist, from any expert, “Mr Marinakis said.
