For its part, Labor Minister Niki Kerameos spoke of an “unprecedented tragedy”, stressing the need for no shadow left.
According to parliamentary correlation, ND’s proposal is the only one expected to vote for at least 151 positive votes and the ruling party has 154 seatsexcept for Kostas Karamanlis, who has no right to vote.
PASOK and the legal dimension

Even tougher was the attitude of the KKE. Nikos Karathanasopoulos spoke of perforated and arbitrary processdescribing it as an attempt to conceal the tragedy. The KKE complains that the majority proposal had been decided and adopted with the tolerance of other parties.
The position of the Greek solution and the relatives of the victims
