For the last time, following four months of meetings and 37 witness statements, the investigative committee for Tempi is expected to meet today at noon at 3:00 p.m. a common finding.
However, the architecture of the conclusive positions submitted yesterday – when the extension ended – does not foreshadow that there will be no common ground, with the governing majority assigning responsibility to the human factor and the official opposition recognizing potential criminal responsibilities to political figures.
Conclusion ND
In the more than 700 pages of ND’s conclusive position, responsibility is attributed to the human factor, as on the fateful night of the accident the GKK (General Traffic Regulation) was violated 7 times, while no responsibilities or omissions of political persons arise, with K. Karamalis taking over with the his resignation, political responsibility.
Regarding the interventions at the scene of the accident, the conclusion states that “they were carried out by the competent operational bodies, based on the need to move the damaged trains”, rejecting any scenario of a cover-up attempt. A special mention is also made of contract 717 which until 2016 had been executed “only 18% of the project due to serious mistakes and omissions by ERGOSE and OSE”. “Under the ministry of K. Karamanlis, the timing problems of Convention 717 were resolved, so it was completed in September 2023” it is pointed out, among other things, deeming the extension given by the then minister to the project necessary, in order to complete it. “If the safety issues raised by Hellenic Train had merit and were not simply aimed at higher compensation, it should have immediately suspended its services, as it should, based on its distinct legal obligation to its passengers,” the majority opinion concluded. .
Conclusion SYRIZA – PS
ND and SYRIZA agreed that they disagree, with the official opposition requesting further investigation by a natural judge to look for possible criminal responsibilities of the former Ministers of Transport Mr. Kostas Karamanlis, Christos Spirtzis and Michalis Chrysochoidis, for the 717 contract.
In particular, for the former Minister Kostas Karamanlis, he points out the existence of possible criminal responsibilities for the offenses of dereliction of duty, disruption of transport safety, manslaughter with probable intent in series and bodily harm in series, requesting the removal of his parliamentary immunity.
“No” in PASOK’s conclusion – What does it propose?
Without a conclusion from Harilaou Trikoupi, the inquiry will meet today, following PASOK’s decision to withdraw from the last meeting, accusing the governing majority of an attempt to cover up as it did not call essential witnesses. “The Investigative Committee should turn into a Pre-Investigative Committee and exercise its responsibilities,” concludes the party’s proposal, adding that “neither have we received the entire case file, nor have essential witnesses been examined, the issuance of a complete conclusion becomes impossible.
Criminal charges once morest the two former Ministers of Transport Chr. Spirtzis and K. Karamanlis attributes it conclusion of the KKEfiled on Friday by General Secretary Dimitris Koutsoubas at the Areio Pagos, while the Greek solution calls for “All those who served as ministers, deputy ministers and general secretaries of the Ministry of Transport from 2012 onwards to be brought to justice”. The establishment of a preliminary committee to find any responsibilities of K. Karamanlis was requested by New Left, with the Freedom Sailing to file a motion of censure once morest the President of the Investigative Committee, denouncing the premature termination of its work.
Regardless of whether “white smoke” comes out of the inquiry committee meeting or not, the findings are expected to reach the plenary session of the Parliament for discussion in March, with the most likely date being March 20.
