SYRIZA leader Sokratis Famellos has backed a no-confidence motion against the government, joining PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis in calling for accountability following the 2023 Tempi rail disaster.
PASOK will table the motion next Wednesday, March 5, urging all opposition parties to support it.
This follows the release of an official report by the National Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Authority (EODASAAM), which found that mismanagement of the crash site led to the loss of critical evidence.
The report revealed that the removal of debris and improper handling of the site may have erased vital traces related to the post-collision explosion, which likely caused additional fatalities among the 57 people who died.
Mass protests and strikes are planned for Friday, marking the disaster’s second anniversary.
Famellos stressed that the opposition must push Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to “come forward to answer” and take responsibility in Parliament.
With mounting public anger and political pressure, the government’s response to the no-confidence motion is anticipated to be a defining moment in the debate over accountability for the Tempi tragedy.
