Tension was noted today in the Parliament during the debate on the land register. Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Zoe Konstantopoulou came into confrontation on the occasion of a report by the president of Freedom of Navigation on the Tempe accident.
An exchange of points followed, in which the Speaker of the Parliament and Nikos Pappas intervened.
It is noted that there were about 35 New Democracy MPs in the room out of a total of 156, a fact that the opposition parties pointed out in their criticism. Of the 11 blue rebels there were only 2.
The intensity
While Kyriakos Mitsotakis was on the podium, the president of Plevsis Eleftheria made a comment about the train accident in Tempe, with the prime minister answering her: “Greece, why do you want a miserable Greece to have its own land registry… it changes towards better. From our side, do what makes the daily life of the citizens easier… by voting in favor, putting forward for once the interest of the place and society”.
This report caused greater irritation in the Plenary, opening a new cycle of confrontation this time with Konstantinos Tasoula, Zoe Konstantopoulou and Nikos Pappa.
K. Tasoulas: Respect the Parliament and the KtB which you constantly violate. Mr. Pappas has the floor.
Zoe Konstantopoulou: I have also requested, Mr. President
K. Tasoulas:: You are last, because the wise Greek people ranked you last.
Nikos Pappas: It would be good to avoid such evaluations, Mr. President.
K. Tasoulas: Come and keep order yourself.
Nikos Pappas: I don’t have any such job.
K. Tasoulas: I am informing you that Mrs. Konstantopoulou asked me to speak before you, and she told me that you are wrongly asking for the floor because you have not asked for it. Do you want me to call her?… It’s not enough that I’m trying to lighten the atmosphere, you’re telling me that I’m also wrong.
The Pappa Wedge
Taking the floor, the president of the KO of SYRIZA unleashed severe criticism towards the prime minister for the ongoing fires, demanding answers.
“He spouts reasons for the land register. Is nothing happening? Is he afraid of tarnishing his image in the news if he apologizes for the Corinthia fire? An explanation for the death of a fellow human being at AT Panteleimonas?”.
Mr. Pappas, looking towards the seats of the blue MPs, most of whom had already left after Kyriakos Mitsotakis finished his speech, asked himself: “Doesn’t this attitude offend you?” The midterms were tabled yesterday… Is there no agenda of issues to explain? Is he proud or should he apologize for something?’ At the same time, he called the prime minister’s speech a “poor performance”.
“The government bears responsibility for abandoning the railway,” the prime minister said, accusing him of being the high priest of the Tempe accident cover-up. “He will not escape from these responsibilities. SYRIZA will exhaust every parliamentary means for the truth of your deeds to come to light. We have filed a pre-day debate on the issue of civil protection. At the same time, we want detailed information on national issues, as according to Turkish officials and the Turkish president, there are developments”.
