PASOK's strong reaction was prompted by statements from Justice Minister Giorgos Floridis, who admitted that the law should be changed to allow investigators to listen to the audio of the crash in Tempe.
Mr. As Floridis pointed out to SKAI in the morning, “When I took over as minister, the investigator could not listen to the conversations of the people involved because the law does not allow him to do that. I asked the prime minister for an urgent order, and he immediately ordered to do it”.
“First the conversations of the train drivers were made public and then the investigating officers listened to them in order to attach them to the case file,” even the justice minister revealed. He insisted that there were other conversations besides those leaked to the public.

“The judge's hands were tied for months, while hours after the tragedy in Tempe “someone” obtained the audio material and sent it to a friendly media outlet to vilify the narrative of human error,” PASOK-Movement for Change said on SKAI TV regarding Justice Minister Giorgos Floridis' statements. said in a statement commenting.
He emphasized how the Minister of Justice “in July 2023, when he took over the portfolio of the Ministry, he was informed by the investigator that the law did not allow him to listen to and attach to the file the controversial conversations of the OSE. In fact, as he informed us – an emergency provision must be brought in to make this possible.
PASOK-KINAL notes that “the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, which insists on delivering justice without exceptions, is being exposed more and more every day”.
