Nikolas Moraitis wrote that he admired the simple and direct language of Dionysis Charitopoulos and characterized him as a great writer. He added that Greece owed him the restoration of historical truth, as, according to him, through his study and the book "Aris: the leader of the irregulars," he had refuted the propaganda of the right’s underground for the National Resistance. Quoting an excerpt from Charitopoulos's work, Moraitis mentioned that the author accused official Greece of having hidden or defamed the resistance movement for years and that former fighters of ELAS and their families faced social and state stigma. Charitopoulos, according to the excerpt, also described a multi-year effort to distort the facts and argued that EAM was the greatest epic of modern Greek history. The same text cited words from Panagiotis Kanellopoulos regarding the National Resistance. #ΔιονύσηςΧαριτόπουλος #ΕλληνικήΙστορία #Αντίσταση (translated)

Despoina Kanidou, mother of Giorgos Papazoglou, testified at the trial regarding the Tempi incident that the family arrived by car at Evangelismos around 2, while the fire was still burning. She mentioned that her son's funeral took place on March 7 and that the restoration work and backfilling had been completed the day before. Kanidou said that her son's body was one of the three most dismembered and was delivered in two bags: one contained his legs and the other his heart and organs. She stated that the metallic items he had with him and his mobile phone, which she said was functioning, were not found and claimed that the items were thrown away with the soil during the restoration work. She also claimed that there were government orders to remove the soil and that the area needed to be cleared in anticipation of elections. She stated that important evidence was lost with the backfilling. She also referred to the audio of her call to 112, where she heard Frantzeska saying that she had no oxygen, and described how she was preoccupied with what the child had gone through in the last hours of his life. Regarding the absence of defendants from the courtroom, Kanidou mentioned that stationmasters and representatives of ERGOSE were missing and requested that their personal presence be ordered. She added that the defendants continued to work in the same positions. Kanidou argued that if the consortium had been declared bankrupt, contract 717 would have been completed, and she would not have lost her child. She said that extensions and additional funds were given while workers repeatedly sent legal warnings about the possibility of an accident. She stated that the problems were known to the ministry, the RAS, and OSE, and that the family had believed Mr. Karamanlis's assurances about safety. Finally, she said that in 2023, the two trains moved for 12 minutes on a collision course without any safety system working and argued that the functioning of even one system would have prevented the collision. She attributed the deaths to corruption, collusion, nepotism, and impunity. #Τέμπη #δίκη #ασφάλεια (translated)

He added that the Region and municipalities were working to restore access to the affected areas and that a government delegation would go to the island on Monday to coordinate the assessment of damages and recovery processes.

Avgerinos Thanassis reported that President Putin appointed today a new ambassador of Russia to Greece, the 66-year-old Yuri Gorlats, who was the head of the Crisis and Emergency Situations Center of the Russian Foreign Ministry and had previously served at NATO headquarters and in European affairs. He wrote that the change of ambassador, after 12 years, might indicate that the Kremlin was taking into account the messages from the majority of Greek society and a significant part of the Greek elite. According to him, these groups wanted the fastest possible restoration of relations and rejected military escalation, which he associated with European bureaucracy. He also characterized as a clear and proven mistake the Greek government's choice to take the lead in the rupture of relations with Moscow. #Ρωσία #Ελλάδα #Διπλωματία (translated)

With the safety of residents, with the safety of citizens, we cannot play around. Neither in Kypseli nor anywhere else. The logic of "let's go and see what happens" cannot be tolerated by anyone. Especially when safety and life are at stake. For the past seven months, there have been cracks and subsidence in 35 apartment buildings in the center of Athens, in Kypseli. The responsible minister himself has stated that he would not let his own families live here. There is inaction and there is no development that reassures these people. Therefore, what needs to be done immediately is: First, all technical data should be provided to the experts appointed by the residents. Second, there should be an immediate, certified evaluation process to determine whether the buildings are green, yellow, or red. For those that are yellow or red, residents must be given the opportunity to relocate to safe buildings immediately, at the state's expense. Restoration work must be carried out promptly. I repeat, we cannot play with issues of safety. I have seen houses with cracks and in load-bearing structures, that is, in columns and beams. I have seen doors that do not close. I have seen frames that have come loose. Those who are responsible for certifying and providing a valid opinion on whether the buildings are habitable are the qualified engineers of the Technical Chamber, who must respond urgently to the question of whether the buildings are green, yellow, or red - those that are green are fine, but for the yellow and red ones, we must ensure the safety of the residents immediately. #Ασφάλεια #Κυψέλη #Αθήνα (translated)

Beware. Triantopoulos is referred to the Special Court because he did not prevent the filling in of the Tempes while he was present at the scene. It should be noted that Triantopoulos, who had this responsibility, reported directly to Mitsotakis, as Deputy Minister to the Prime Minister. On the same day as the accident, the Prime Minister was present at the filling in and together with Triantopoulos not only bore responsibility but boasted that the only good thing after the accident was that "immediate restoration of the area is underway." In other words, Triantopoulos along with his supervisor allowed the filling in, destroying evidence, and tried to deceive public opinion and obscure the investigation. Yes, in the elections they got 41%, which they used as an argument to confirm what they did. You understand that the country would be different if this law regarding (non) responsibility of ministers did not exist. And if there was then an Opposition P.S.: Documento was accused of conspiracy theories for what it had written about the filling in. #Τριαντόπουλος #Μητσοτάκης #Δικαιοσύνη (translated)
