Vasso Koulpa, the mother of Anastasios Koutsopoulos, described in her testimony at the trial for the Tempe disaster how she said goodbye to her son before he boarded the train. She mentioned that he was initially scheduled to leave the next day and that he had shown her his new mobile phone, which, as he told her, could be used to call in case of an accident. Koulpa said that at 11:05, Tasos informed her by phone that the train was delayed and that he was in Larissa. Later, when he did not answer her calls, her husband speculated that there might not have been a signal along the route. At 12:15, as she reported, her son George informed her that the train had derailed. The family set off for Larissa, and upon arriving at the scene, she was searching for Tasos among the injured and the people who were crying. At the hospital, according to her testimony, she saw a stretcher being taken down from an ambulance that carried a bag with a dead body, and she tried to determine if the body was her son’s. Later, she told the investigating judge that she did not know what exactly she had received, describing how her child had been burned. She claimed that Tasos had survived the collision and could have been saved if the fire had not broken out. Koulpa stated that she wanted to know the truth and requested that the investigation and justice not be influenced by political considerations. She also said that she did not accept human error as an explanation and called for all evidence to be examined. #Δικαιοσύνη #Τέμπη #Αλήθεια (translated)

Amalia claimed that documents uncovered from the Russian State Archive of Contemporary History (RGANI) showed that Moscow was funding AKEL with the aim of preventing the union of Cyprus with Greece. According to her, the funding served Soviet interests, as Greece was a NATO member. She stated that the money was channeled through the International Trade Union Assistance Fund for Left-Wing Labor Organizations, which she described as a cover for the KGB, and that the allocations were approved by the Political Bureau of the CPSU. She mentioned Yuri Andropov as responsible for transferring the funds. According to Amalia, six annual reports for the period 1961-1973 recorded remittances to AKEL amounting to $56,000 in 1961, $56,222 in 1962, $56,000 in 1963, $69,722 in 1965, $70,000 in 1966, and $140,000 in 1973, totaling $447,944. She added that these amounts did not necessarily constitute the total aid received by the party, as, she wrote, documents for all the years had not been declassified. She also mentioned that AKEL had received weapons from Moscow. She wrote that the Central Committee of the CPSU approved, at the request of AKEL's General Secretary Ezekias Papayiannou, the shipment of 100 Walther pistols and 25,000 cartridges. According to the posting, the weapons were sent on June 13, 1974, and delivered on July 4. Amalia questioned the stated purpose in the documents — the protection of AKEL leadership and other persons — and claimed that the weapons were intended for terrorist actions against EOKA B. Finally, she stated that Makarios had received weapons from Czechoslovakia, with Moscow's approval, in late January 1972. According to her, these were unloaded in the area of Kseros and transported with about 50 trucks to the Archdiocese in Nicosia. #Κύπρος #ΑΚΕΛ #ιστορία (translated)

Koulpa, according to the post, said she did not accept the version of human error, as she believed the train was not safe and nothing was functioning. She added that she believed her son was lost for political purposes and that she wanted to know the truth. #Τέμπη #Δικαιοσύνη #ΑληθινήΙστορία (translated)

Vicky referred to a post by Nikos Zisis, the husband of Athena Katsara, who lost her life in the Tempi accident, about the testimony of Ilia Papangelis at the trial. Zisis wrote that Papangelis, the father of 18-year-old Anastasia, spoke for six hours while standing, with a large photograph of his daughter in front of him. He mentioned that Anastasia was sitting behind him and Katsara on the train and that he felt guilty when he embraced her mother, Maria Dolka, in court, as he considered himself "lucky" compared to Anastasia. He described the testimony as shocking and thanked Papangelis for the strength and what he endured to relive. #ΝίκΟΣΖΗΣΗΣ #Τέμπη #Δικαιοσύνη (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)

Adonis Georgiadis described the video as shocking and argued that theories regarding arson had caused additional pain to the families of the victims of the commercial train. He claimed that television channels and journalists had concealed the question of how the fireball could have started from the commercial train, since, as he mentioned, the bodies of the two drivers had been found intact by the fire. Georgiadis asserted that the cover-up theory spread for political reasons, as it harmed the government, and said he felt shame for those promoting such claims. He also commented on what the mother of the deceased driver mentioned in the video. #ΕμπορικήΑμαξοστοιχία #Δημοσιογραφία #Πολιτική (translated)

Nikos Boyiopoulos criticized journalist Zacharos for a comment he made on his show on the ONE television station regarding Erietta Molcho, who, as he stated, had been missing after the train collision in Tempi. According to Boyiopoulos, lawyer Th. Staikos, who represented the Voulgaris family in the trial for Tempi, noted on the show that Molcho had not been located. Zacharos, as Boyiopoulos wrote, questioned whether she was on the train and linked the mention of the missing persons to previous claims that there were no deaths during the Polytechnic uprising. Boyiopoulos stated that the 23-year-old Molcho was on the passenger train that collided with a freight train on the night of February 28, 2023, and that no trace of her had been found on the train. He added that her parents had attended the court in Larissa last April and had filed a motion to support the charges in the pre-trial proceedings. As he noted, after the reactions, Zacharos apologized, describing his wording as incorrect. He claimed that his intention was to offer ironic criticism of those adopting theories surrounding Tempi and had apologized to Molcho's family and the relatives of the victims. Boyiopoulos concluded his post by addressing him with a heavy insult. #Τεμπη #Πολυτεχνείο #δημοσιογραφία (translated)
