Eliza Voseberg launched an attack against Maria Karystianou a week before the hearing of Apostolos Tzitzikostas for the position of Transport Commissioner at the Commission.
Although the wave of support and the demand for justice is growing, the New Democracy MP has not succeeded in the torment of the ruling party regarding the struggle of the relatives of the victims and the impact it has inside and outside the to hide boundaries. .
Mrs Voseberg commenting on Mrs Karystianou’s statement that “she does not expect justice to be served if Kostas Karamanlis is not tried” after it was revealed that the mother of Marthi, the 20-year-old student who lost her life in the train fatal, she asked to see her during one of the visits to Brussels, she left a bad impression that she is “guided” politically.
“Guided” by Maria Karystianou
“He comes to Brussels and makes complaints, led by Costas Arvanitis, from my colleague SYRIZA MEP, because SYRIZA follows this tactic and policy with specific people, not all, and against the opposition the opposition exported on the occasion of the rule. the law”, said the “blue” MEP and president of the Committee for Transport and Tourism in the European Parliament (report by SKAI).
The MEP even showed his ignorance about the date of the tragic event or made a mistake, adding: “When the Tempe tragedy happened, which is in April 2023 (about February 28, 2023), this was immediately instrumentalized, removing used the pain Mrs. Karystianou”.
Eliza Vozeberg, referring to her dialogue with Maria Karystianou, continued to say:
“I won’t judge her, I spoke to her with a lot of respect, she was very polite. I told her that her only effect is to slander and discredit the country. He told me that he does not trust the Greek justice system because Kostas Karamanlis is not accused. I told her “it’s not your responsibility, nor your right to say that” because nobody accused Kostas Karamanlis of criminal acts. A political figure who has taken immediate political responsibility from the first moment cannot be controlled by an individual either”.
When asked that Mr. Karamanlis made the safety of the trains a week before the tragedy, Mrs. Vosenberg replied cynically “that’s what he believed”, and about the delay of the 717 contract, she said that this was the case. the state’s fault for years.
He blames the relatives of the victims for delaying the trial
The New Democracy MP did not leave all the relatives of the victims out of the frame, indirectly accusing them of being responsible for the delay in the trial. “I think all these people who lost their children and we’re all hurt because of it, they had to step down and demand accountability quickly. ND brought forward an amendment a year after the tragedy. This does not happen because the relatives are trying to find other reasons, to say that the results are not enough and to delay at their own risk. They don’t want to close the file. But it is not private individuals who will decide who will be charged, but the authorities.”
And he went on to fully identify with the government, saying: “Justice is ready to judge, it does not delay. With the help of the government they are moving fast – the process has been accelerated. The State wants the trial to continue. This is being prevented by the relatives of the victims, who fully exercise their right and are entitled to express their views in the public debate.”
He also benefited from lessons from the opposition: “Those who claim to have a lack of confidence in justice will expose Greece abroad, and Justice is a pillar of democracy in democratic states, they lie and expose the country. Those who systematically, intentionally and systematically export opposition.
No other country does it, no one exports the opposition, even though they have a problem. They talk about different things but they don’t reveal the country. It is not the role of Members to draw attention to the bad texts of their countries”.
