The “vulgar attempt” by the opposition to build a narrative of a cover -up of the Tempe tragedy was spoken by the Deputy Minister under the Prime Minister and government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis, responding to PASOK’s criticism of the so -called “staff”.
As he said, this effort “started from the far right” and then “unfortunately adopted by almost all opposition parties, with the last PASOK”.
According to Mr Marinakis, parties, media and persons with institutional properties they attempted to build this narrative “on a tragic accident”, despite the fact that investigating the causes “is a pandemic request and no one is excluded”.
“They made a fake narrative narrative, trafficking conspiracy theories. So that collapses. Everyone who has served it are exposed, ”he said.
He accused the opposition of “moving the goalposts” and returning to issues that the government had recognized from the beginning. “They began to discuss how we got to the tragic accident of the Tempi, where we have said from the first moment – and the prime minister – that they met serious human mistakes with serious state weaknesses.”
The government spokesman recalled that PASOK officials had spoken of “illegal burden” and “concealment”, who “no longer remember”. He made it clear that this is not a political victory: “I do not think the government is justified. We cannot talk about justification when there are 57 dead. The truth is justified, the truth wins. “
“The fact that we have an Air and Railway and Railway Research Agency is very important for the country. And we were late to have such an organization for two reasons. The first reason is because there is now something institutionalized, which if it happens, the non -born, something very bad, greater or less intensified in its consequences, there is an organism to manage the field, to investigate the causes and to take actions that, as everyone found, were missing. And the second reason is because we should not reset significant findings of the finding, which are not at all honored for our government, for those that must be made for the railway. We have begun to move forward with a series of actions and suggestions that EPANAAM made us and obviously to move on much more. There is a leg of the finding that is clearly problematic. This part is the only one that the opposition has read and is the cause of the second proposal of mistrust, because these, you know, have been registered in history, they do not write, at the initiative of PASOK and Mr. Androulakis, who proudly on the day of presentation and during the presentation and during his presentation, distrust. He then wrote a text along with Mrs Konstantopoulou, SYRIZA and the New Left, where, in addition to the rest, he also talked about concealment and flammable material and all the rest, and was the second proposal of distrust, which was based on a small piece. That is why there is reasonable questions about this part of the finding. It is a given that what foreign universities say are very serious. We will not take a position, we are not the ones who are finding findings. For the findings, we are not the experts, we hear with great care of the scientists’ reservations, and of course questions arise for those who have been used by ENDAAAM, who have been appearing for a long time, who are experts and experts who are registered by them, to serve her own narrative.
“All of this were tools, weapons, that particular part of the finding, these” experts “, all of which were used by opposition parties,” he said.
Mr Marinakis reiterated that the finding was drafted by a committee of scientists, experts from abroad and was not responsible for Mr Papadimitriou and added that “there must be answers to the finding that led society to have the view that there is a great chance. Although the finding was likely, the opposition has turned into certainty. “
“We do not read the findings with party glasses. With party glasses the opposition parties read the findings. I did not come here on the day of presentation of the finding to depreciate part of the finding. I also referred to the issue of flammable material and said that he is really talking about probability, further investigation is needed. The opposition took the probability and turned it into certainty and made a distrust proposal, “he said.
On Trump’s statements following the prime minister’s interview and Greece’s relations with President Trump, Mr Marinakis said: “One of these fantasies was that after the Trump election Greece will be on the sidelines of the US, because there is a very bad view of Greece and the prime minister. The reality, with the culmination of yesterday, will have a continuation of the denial of the truth of these theories, this narrative also crushes this narrative. ” “Their goal is not only the government, it is the country as well,” he said.
“What is most important to me, because it has to do with the lives of citizens in Greece and Europe, is that we have had a significant positive development. We still have a long way to go in front of us. The fact that Trump decided to suspend the duty framework, which he had imposed on a number of countries other than China, gives Europe hope to take advantage of the time to negotiate an agreement with the main objective of free trade, “he said.
PASOK: When Mr Marinakis responds to the government spokesman. The New Democracy executives
Meanwhile, with ironic disposition and strong criticism, PASOK Change Motor attacks government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis, accusing him of contradictory statements about the EPAAAM’s findings on the Tempe tragedy.
In a statement from the party’s press office, it is noted that the same man described the finding a “national conquest” in late February and a “vulgar effort of the opposition” in early April. PASOK talks about a “parody” starring New Democracy executives and leaves clear spikes about the role of the government in the management of the case.
In detail PASOK’s comment
As unthinkable as it may seem, the following statements belong to the same person, government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis.
-Pavlos Marinakis in Mega 27/2/2025 on the finding of EPANAAM: “What we have seen today,-the presentation, the elements-the finding of the EPASAM is a national conquest for the truth and it is very important that it is accepted by a number of people in the case and have a picture of the technical consultants. Finally, we have a national organization that investigates such cases and collects evidence. “
-Paul Marinakis 10/4/2025 Asked if the Staff State failed in the case of EPASAMA finding: “What has failed is the most vulgar effort I can remember in terms of opposition -and not just one and two parties -the narrative of the concealment. That is, what began to build very methodical parties on the right and adopted, unfortunately, almost all the opposition parties with the last PASOK. “
The conclusion of ESAsam from national conquest was suddenly vulgar to the opposition. Mr. Marinakis denying Mr. Marinakis. It is worth noting how much stock of New Democracy executives have to say exactly the opposite of what they said recently.
Who appointed Mr. Papadimitriou to Endasam? Who presented the conclusion of EPODAAM as the only reliable finding?
The New Democracy government is the answer.
PS As for statements about flammable material, let’s not waste his time looking. Let’s see the Prime Minister’s interview with A. Schroeder, when he first adopted the existence of flammable material by copying Mr. Velopoulos and acknowledging that he had not told the truth in 2023 because “what seemed unlikely, it may be possible”.
