In detail, he stated that “the Monument to the Unknown Soldier is the most important place of remembrance, a sacred place and it concerns the fallen during the nation’s struggles. There are written the names of the great battles we have fought. It is a monument, with which we honor the memory of all Greeks who lost their lives defending the homeland. It has no place or any mention of anything else there. Do we want to make a monument to remember the horrible disaster of Tempe? Let’s do it. This can’t be in The Unknown Soldier […] It is a monument with a specific purpose,” he emphasized.
And, then, he said that the names of the victims of the railway tragedy “must not” be left written in that place and “of course” they should be erased. And, in fact, they must be deleted “immediately”.
In the continuation of the interview, he clarified that the initiative of the mayor of Athens to erect a monument is “very interesting” and “if in this discussion regarding the monument for Tempi, government bodies should be involved, they should be involved. But, we are talking regarding the ‘Unknown Soldier’ here. Nothing will be written on the ‘Unknown Soldier’. It will list the names, places, places where the nation fought and people lost their lives in those war efforts the nation made to liberate itself. This is the ‘Unknown Soldier’, he concluded.
Regarding, on the other hand, the position developed by parties and politicians regarding the course of judicial investigations, the Minister of State pointed out that “politicians must refrain from any comment on pending judicial cases. Why do the interpretations of the Human Rights Convention say so? They say this so that there is no manipulation and interference in the work of the judges.” Therefore, “I would suggest that all politicians agree to show restraint when it comes to the actions of justice.”
Regarding the patching, in particular, at the scene of the railway accident, he noted that only one side was patched, and wondered: “If the cover-up was the purpose, did they only patch the right and not the left?”
Finally, on the occasion of the citizens’ resolution on Tempi, he made two findings: First, parliamentary immunity exists only for the exercise of the duties of the deputies. And, secondly, “when there was a proposal for a preliminary recommendation, which concerned breach of duty and disloyalty for (Convention) 717 and Karamanlis, the Parliament ruled and rejected it.”
