Paul Marinakis for Tembi: Political “twelves” exploit victim relatives for political benefits

It is regrettable that any politician who tries to obtain benefits from such a case, pointed out the man referring to the tragic accident of the . Government representative Paul Marinakis, a guest today (20.03.2024) on the show “Good morning Greece”, was asked about the request of relatives of the victims of the Tempes that the law on the responsibility of ministers should not apply so that they could be brought to the expense of ministers charged before the natural judge. As he said, “The first change in the law was made by the Government of Mitsotakis in the previous Parliament and the ministers were likened to the citizens in everything and if it is decided about it, any minister from the Government of Mitsotakis and then, therefore, not Mr. Spirtzis, matters this, will be taken to Justice.” “It’s one thing to stand next to the relatives of the victims and help get justice and it’s another thing to be everywhere beside them like a leech and try to get petty political benefits.” He went on to accuse Syriza that “Polakis, Kammenos, Gerovasil and a total of 11 cases were hidden behind Article 86 of the Constitution and were not tried. We do not implement the law on the responsibility of ministers as they set it. When you have tooled him 11 times, it is ridiculous to move the finger…”. In reports of a cover-up by the Government of data and responsibilities for the train accident in Tembis, Paul Marinakis replied “What cover-up? Justice is investigating and investigating everyone, with no exception. In all cases, indictments and petitions to the House are made by Justice. The parties neither in the findings (what they have submitted) nor in their announcements have made a number of accusations, so that the Government will come and answer and reject them and then talk about cover-up. There are hurtful people who listen to the word cover-up and unfortunately get angry.” He went on to say “What are they saying? That a minister who rushed a contract that was ready by 20% should go in charge? For example, those who did not finish the National Road of Patras – Tower and partitioned, should they go accused of relatives of victims of traffic or the minister who had not perfected 112 when the fire took place in the Eye should go accused of it? There is no process that the Government has covered up something.” “We have no confrontation with any man who experiences human pain. But there’s no evidence of anyone hiding in the accident. And the times I hear, given the seriousness of the case and the large number of people involved, as they are many victims and their relatives accordingly, are unprecedented times for justice. There were other relatives and other happy mothers who shouted or mourned mutes, whose affairs were tried five years later,” said Mr Marinakis. “Fake news the bust” Continuing the shots towards the opposition, the government spokesman said that “the Tembon accident is tried by Justice rather than by polls or presenters. Who are responsible for justice? The vulgar fake news is being held that “it became a bust” at the scene of the accident. There’s no such thing in the file. There were necessary work done after decisions of service agents to enable the cars to be lifted, in case people could be found alive three days after the accident.” As he completed, “Have Mr. Buyer been prosecuted because there was a cover-up of evidence and a bust? Nope. He’s not being prosecuted because he ordered the area to be breached, I don’t know if his prosecution has anything to do with the companies used or anything else. Apart from the fact that no order was given above, the decision was made to collect dead or find people alive, as the cranes had to “stand”. Those who decide are senior judges, neither politicians nor journalists.” On today’s debate in the House of the ND finding after the Committee of Inquiry into Tempes, Mr Marinakis said that “not all parties faced the Committee of Inquiry in the same way. The government majority of the NW made a 600-page finding, with evidence and data. The main opposition made a 70-page finding, without making specific accusations. All these conspiracy theories and charges, were not formulated with a specific indictment in the main opposition’s finding.” “The Government allowed the opposition to make an Inquiry Committee, because otherwise it could not be done. The Government changed the provision for the deadline for the limitation of offences for ministers and thus, for example, Mr. Karamanlis can be tried if something comes up against him. The truth will shine through Justice. Within 1.3 million, it is the signatures of people who have voted for all parties. Within the citizens’ demands is the article on the responsibility of ministers, but not revised by every Parliament, the House must be revised,” he said. “There is acrobasis by the European Prosecutor” The government spokesman also crowned his arrows to the European Prosecutor, saying that “there is an acrobatic by the European Prosecutor, saying irrelevant things to each other. Justice does not prevent any investigation. The European Prosecutor says “change your Constitution and change your laws”. What country is this? To change Constitution and laws because a European prosecutor said so? Is there no waiver of immunity from Members, MEPs and EU Commissioners? Are there no such procedures everywhere?”. He then said that “as a government representative I respond with reality and with what is happening in Greece and Europe. Everyone with office is judged… It’s a matter of coming to a tragic case and shaking a finger in a country, taking advantage of people’s pain. It is very easy to move your finger and say “everybody in prison”. We are talking about opposition that doesn’t care about the rule of law when we have the Ministry of Justice in Maximus, they say no more tragedies or try to cut funds for Greece. I’m talking about those who next to a painful mother, try to make a career.”
