Political Clash at Parliamentary Presidents’ Conference: All Against Zoï and Zoï Against All

A heated debate unfolded during the conference of parliamentary presidents, where accusations regarding the alleged tampering of documentation against Karamanlis and Spiritzi for the national tragedy at Tempi were discussed. President of Freedom’s Voyage, Zoï Konstantopoulou, declared her intention to verify the authenticity of the documentation, receiving support from Parliament President Nikitas Kaklamanis. However, tensions escalated when Konstantopoulou targeted journalists working in the parliamentary press office, leading to intervention by Doris Bakoyianni who defended their right to report. The upcoming week will see the first proposal for a preliminary investigation against former Transport Minister Kostas Karamanlis by PASOK, focusing on the train collision that claimed 57 lives. Legal teams are preparing detailed proposals based on penal code Article 290 concerning dangerous interventions in public transportation. Meanwhile, SYRIZA and ND are also formulating their own proposals against Karamanlis, ensuring a fierce political battle ahead. The situation highlights Zoï Konstantopoulou’s confrontational approach, which, despite criticism, seems to resonate with her electoral base, as evidenced by a significant rise in her approval ratings.
