PASOK Calls for Pre-Trial Committee Over Tempi Train Disaster

The calls for accountability over the Tempi train disaster are growing louder as PASOK moves to establish a Pre-Trial Committee. The party plans to refer not only former Transport Minister Kostas Karamanlis but also Deputy Ministers Giorgos Karagiannis and Michalis Papadopoulos, according to sources cited by newsit.gr. The case is linked to documents, emails, and official signatures pointing to responsibilities across the entire political leadership of the Ministry of Transport. The focus is on violations under Article 290 of the Penal Code, titled ‘Dangerous Interventions in Road Traffic.’ Meanwhile, New Democracy is preparing its own proposal against Karamanlis for misconduct. Political tensions rise as various parties strategize their approaches ahead of crucial legal proceedings. Additionally, former government spokesperson Adonis Georgiadis has stepped back from public appearances, while Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Health Minister Thanos Plevris have reportedly mended fences. Behind the scenes, Stefanos Kassellakis of the Democracy Movement seeks collaboration with Zoï Konstantopoulou’s Freedom Sailing party, although differences remain. Meanwhile, former PM economic advisor Alexis Patelis is working feverishly on a book chronicling Greece’s economic journey and his personal experiences over the past five years.
