Adonis Georgiadis told Mrs. Yamali that, according to recorded phone calls, the interested parties first called 166, even though there was no ambulance service there, and that the recordings documented a wait of 25 minutes. He accused her of presenting a misleading photo of an old, decommissioned ambulance instead of the one that was dispatched, and that she transmitted inaccurate information. He asked her to investigate the complaint before broadcasting it, noting that she could have contacted the mayor to verify which ambulance appeared. He requested an explicit denial and urged her to check what she had stated.
