An end to the political exploitation of the Tempe tragedy but at the same time with respect for the families of the victims and the commitment that the truth will shine through justice will try to set today Thursday 28/03/2024, the Prime Minister in Parliament, closing the debate on the motion of no confidence which was submitted at the initiative of PASOK, and co-signed by SYRIZA, New Left and Pleussi Eleftherias.
Yesterday was dominated by the speech of the leading political person who has been targeted by the opposition, the former Minister of Transport, Costas Karamanlis, while there were moments of tension and fierce arguments between the Minister of State, Maki Voridis and of Nikos Androulakis and Zoe Konstantopoulou.
Motion of no confidence – Karamanlis on Tempi: “I am not hiding behind parliamentary immunity”
The key points in the speech of the former Minister of Transport
Kostas Karamanlis, who resigned from his ministerial post shortly following the tragedy in Tempi, took the floor last night and addressed the Plenary, clarifying that he has chosen to place himself institutionally on such a serious issue.
“I did not hide, I do not hide and I will not hide behind any parliamentary immunity”he clarified.
He emphasized that there is no one else who wants the truth to shine as much as he does, and lifting the gauntlet, he said that since October he had asked those who accuse him to file a proposal for the recommendation of a preliminary investigation for Tempi.
He accused his political opponents of spreading fake news and distorting the truth not because they ache with the pain of the victims’ relatives but to survive politically.
In fact, trying to show how the ND differs from the other parties and especially from SYRIZA, he emphasized that he immediately assumed political responsibility in contrast to those who – as he said – played theater in Mati.
In fact, Kostas Karamanlis wanting to demonstrate the true intentions of the opposition argued that the target is not himself but Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his government.
What will the prime minister say today?
Kyriakos Mitsotakis is expected to leave nothing unanswered from what his political opponents complain regarding. He knows, say his colleagues, that the tones will rise a lot and this was already seen yesterday.
At the top of his speech will be two parameters. One will be the assurance that through the judicial investigation the truth and the main people responsible for this tragedy will be revealeda. He will not deny that decades of disease and perhaps wrong handling led to the loss of 57 lives and he will assure that as long as he is in charge we will not experience such a tragedy once more.
However, what many are waiting for is whether Kyriakos Mitsotakis will name the organized interests that want to harm the country and want to hold the government hostage.
He will dismiss the cover-up and will launch an all-out attack on the opposition parties that tabled the motion of no confidence.
He will accuse his political opponents of basing their survival on human suffering through lies, slander and rumours.
In the absence of SYRIZA President Stefanos Kasselakis, PASOK President Nikos Androulakis will gather the prime minister’s fire, who took the initiative to table the motion of no confidence using as his weapon the publication of Sunday’s Step. And here she will accuse him of being “trustee of specific publishing interests’.
The President of SYRIZA, Stefanos Kasselakis, will not escape his fire either, mainly because he asked the prime minister to resign and directly challenged the democratic procedures by asking for elections in the presence of international observers. He is expected to accuse him of deliberately undermining the country’s polity and questioning decades-old institutions by poisoning citizens with toxicity and linking unrelated things like the email leak to the postal vote that the opposition fought and voted once morest.
He will remind that those who fight for the Rule of Law have in their ranks two condemned officials, Nikos Pappa and Dimitris Papagelopoulos with the first of the two also being the rapporteur of the official opposition party.
