“After all this he can’t say he’s innocent”
Then, briefly describing what has happened during the investigation of the railway tragedy, he noted that the families had to push, against everyone, to reveal evidence from the scene of the collision of the trains and when they went to the supreme court, the Supreme Court urged them to live their lives in peace and invited them to address the church.
At the same time, the president of SYRIZA-PS referred to the immunity enjoyed by the former Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Kostas Karamanlis, regarding the crime of Tempo and added that Kyriakos Mitsotakis allowed him to be a candidate again.
