“The applause of the MPs of the New Democracy, the style of Mr. Karamanlis, the characterizations show that the ruling party has zero empathy”, commented the speech of the former Minister of Transport, Nikos Androulakis, with his new intervention in the Plenary of the Parliament, according to during the debate on the motion of no confidence against the government.
As he pointed out, “we are talking about a crime in which 57 people lost their lives and we see applause, smiles, why? For the man who from the floor of the Parliament said ‘shame’ to those who raise safety issues for the railways and. after a few days, 57 inhumans died. This man you applaud today. In any other political system he would have to take his responsibilities, he should not be a candidate.”
This statement by the president of PASOK provoked the reactions of the majority MPs, with Nikos Androulakis characteristically responding: “If that opinion bothers you, I heard it from your MPs, from your ministers, but it is not the fault of the candidate, the Mr. Mitsotakis prepares the New Democracy ballots.”
“Those of you who applauded Karamanlis are absolutely responsible”
“Mr. Karamanlis said a lot and clearly. Talk about the conclusion of the National Transparency Authority that he had in his drawer, about the conclusion of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office – on the basis of which we proposed a preliminary investigation committee – talk! Of course, he told us that ‘what did you want, not to implement the project?’ What the European Public Prosecutor’s Office proposed, it proposed because there was corruption. They gave 54 million euros to ensure that the Greek people could travel by train and this money was not used properly. Or is this Authority wrong in its conclusion? You said nothing of substance. Arrogance, unlimited arrogance,” commented Mr. Androulakis.
And addressing the parliamentarians of the government he noted: “I want to say to the parliamentarians of the ND that today, with your applause for this position, the deeply provocative position, in fact, you are all together responsible for tolerance, behavior and actions of the minister, who from this step was committed to security and after a few days 57 people lost their lives. You are absolutely responsible.”
Afterwards, Mr. Androulakis commented on the government’s arguments about PASOK’s “entanglement”, noting what Costas Ah said. Karamanlis: “And because he also left hints about gatekeepers of the entanglement, which entanglement? The entanglement that two ND ministers had drinks on Sunday night? They were not officials of PASOK, nor of the other parties who signed for this process to exist, together with this businessman. Your ministers were. To see that you despise the logic and intelligence of the Greek people. And for the interests, your line and your propaganda dominates all the media, because you have created a regime mentality”, he underlined.
“However, we do not back down, with the word of truth, with consistency, we will do everything we can to bring full light and bring Mr. Karananlis and the ‘blue’ children, who are responsible for not there was remote control in time to save these fellow human beings”, the president of PASOK concluded.
