Tempi was not a simple accident. It was foreseeable. The warnings were there, the resources too. But the state failed to act and 57 people lost their lives. 

Today a second injustice adds to the first. The Greek government is trying to reduce this to a single mistake to avoid political responsibility. This is not justice. 

The families haven't forgotten. The fight for truth and justice is our fight, because Tempi is more than a national tragedy. It exposes deeper failures. A Rule of Law crisis. 

Political pressures, violation of E.U Law. The European Commission has already opened a case for failing to guarantee basic railway safety. The commissioner has just recorded. So it is a European problem, it's not a national problem. And even before the tragedy, the System was known to be failing because no one acted. AND THAT GOES BEYOND TRANSPORT.

Tempi is a symptom of something bigger. A situation where a Rule of Law is eroded from within..

Mrs. Vozenberg, you ask why we didn't discuss the train accident in Italy for example. Because in that case, justice was done. And in this case, according to our information, the Greek Judges Association has openly and officially criticized the way the inquiry has conducted. 

Did or did not Mrs. Vozenberg, the Government cement the crime scene without any approval by the prosecutor?

Did it happen or it didn't happen?

This is the reality.

This is why the European Commission must to act. 

Dear Commissioner, you said safety is not negotiable, truth is not negotiable either, Justice cannot wait, Silence is no longer negotiable.
