The victims of the 2023 train accident in Greece have expressed their strong disagreement
00:05
with the candidacy of the Greek Apostolos Gigikostas as Commissioner for Transport.
00:12
In February 2023, 57 people, mainly university students, were killed in a train crash in
00:18
Tempi.
00:19
Since then, victims' relatives have claimed that the government is trying to cover up
00:23
the case, which is now being investigated by the judiciary.
00:28
The Tempi 2023 Association sent a letter to the President of the European Commission.
00:32
What we want to stress is that the documents that are given to Greeks, who belong to the
00:43
ruling party, for a case that is under development and concerns the government, are completely
00:49
absurd.
00:50
We do not understand their logic and we believe that there is a conflict of interest.
00:56
Maria Karistiano was in Brussels to denounce also the choice of MEP Elisa Vosenberg as
01:02
Chair of the Transport Committee of the European Party.
01:06
She says these nominations are aimed at avoiding accountability for the rail tragedy.
01:12
Speaking to Euronews, Vosenberg has denied the allegations.
01:16
We should not ignore the fact that Mr. Gigikostas and I, since he was appointed after the acrobatics,
01:26
will be coordinating the government in a plot to cover up the facts that need to be made
01:35
public.
01:37
On the 4th of November, the European Parliament will start the hearings of the designated
01:41
commissioners to approve them for the job or reject them.
01:45
90 million.
