Where one would say that things can’t get worse, yesterday’s appearance came Christos Staikoura to finish them. Because the responsible minister for transport, two years after the Railway Tragedy of the Tempi, told us nothing more or less that he could not put his hand on the fire for trains! In particular, asked (Sky) “You can’t put your hand on the fire whether they are trafficked illegally with trains, can you?” the Staiura He replied, “But who can put it?” Referring to the preliminary investigation of the load of the fatal intercity. Only the question asked today was today. “So anyone who wants to do what you want, do you say?” The colleague insisted. With Staircase To answer “we are constantly trying to help transport safety”. In addition, he added, “there is absolute security in the transportation in the world.” It is just that in other countries it is not considered normal for ministers to declare that they do not know if there is smuggling with trains, at least not without showing what they are doing for it. Here, with such answers, one wonders why people doubt what happened in Tempi and whether the railway is safe?
What is optimism?
At one point in the interview, however, the Staiura He seemed optimistic. He said there is an action plan to improve safety on the railway agreed with the Commission, which he found, he says, “satisfactory progress”. I don’t know where this optimism comes from. As we have already written to you in the “NEWS” (with the latest report on yesterday’s sheet), Greece is threatened with a reference to the European Court of Justice, with the Commission having already initiated a violations because it has not been aligned with the requirements of EU rail safety legislation. The Commission has sent a warning letter from December, following a report by the European Railway Organization, which records long -term, systemic deficiencies, which “also derive from the lack of security mentality” within the relevant organizations. I will not boast this one and a half years now, I will not boast.
The court road to email-gate
The first twelve lawsuits filed by overseas voters against the former MEP Anna – Michel Asimakopoulou They were discussed yesterday before the Athens Court of First Instance. A total of 193 lawsuits have been filed against her Asimakopoulouwith the plaintiffs claiming compensation of 20,000 euros each. The expatriate witnesses, in a categorical manner, assured the court president that they never gave their consent to the use of their e -mail by any political person. “We have experienced terrible insecurity”, “my confidence in the electoral process was shaken,” “I still worry because I don’t know where this file has gone” were some of their indicative deposits.
To the CoE
Asimakopoulou
On the opposite side, on behalf of Asimakopoulou No witness was examined and the court reserved to issue his ruling. Meanwhile, next week, the plenary of the Council of State is discussed the appeal of the former MEP seeking the cancellation of the 40,000 -euro fine imposed by the personal data protection authority.
The rockets and
the question marks
There is still no, formally, agreement on the supply of Meteor rockets to Turkey, my source told me yesterday, adding that a negotiation with the agreement of the construction countries of the consortium are indeed ongoing, with Britain as a saleswoman and France. The rockets are packed with Eurofighter fighters, so Turkey’s pursuit is a packet agreement. The above may explain his ataka Kyriakou Mitsotakis About his ‘preventive’ protest Nikos Dendia to the French ambassador Loranes Auersince Athens knows that the debate between Britain, France and Turkey has been open for at least a month. He raised, of course, questions that the prime minister seemed to distance himself from movement Dendiaalthough the minister had announced earlier that it was made after understanding them. It is certain that he will pursue himself Mitsotakis to commemorate his concerns, possibly on his next visit to Paris on February 10 at the artificial intelligence meeting organized by Emmanuel Macron.
