What a coincidence?
After Mitsotakis came to Larisa end February 2023, and a totally inexperienced and underqualified new stationmaster was appointed who on virtually his first shift did all the wrong things to cause two trains to collide, it has emerged a newly appointed fire department investigator sent to the crash site felt she was not qualified to investigate anything while Larisa s traffic police chief said he was not responsible for investigating anything.
Now, if the lead investigator for the fire department really felt she lacked the skills to investigate, she should have called her chief and told him or his deputy to come to the site immediately to carry out the investigation.
After all, theoretically she was facing discplinary charges for her failure to investigate the cause of the fireball which killed 57 young people, no?
How come she was so sure she would not face any penalties for not carrying out her job? How come she did not even make an effort to appear to be doing her job and just stayed by her vehicle without issuing any instructions for example, for any samples of earth or metal to be captured for testing as to the causes of the fire? Or for autopsies to be made to determine the cause of the fire and death?
Even an inexperienced fire fighter could have seen what the public imediately saw, namely, that the extraordinary nature of the degree of damage to themetal and molten wreckage must have been caused by an unusual trigger, a chemical explosive, as confirmed by a Belgian report.
In this void, this carefully crafted void, Mitsotakis deputy PM Chrystos Triantopoulos was able to take charge and carry out the removal of all the earth and asphalting of the crash site.
Who ultimately controls the appointment of Larisa s fire department chief and lead investigator? The same person who ultimately controls the appointment of the stationmaster and the prosecutors and judges at Larisa court who have covered up the evidence of a massive crime.
Mitsotakis.
From media
Testimonies from Greek officials reveal a chaotic and disorganized response in the crucial hours after the deadly train collision in Tempe in central Greece in 2023, highlighting why early investigations stalled.
On March 1, 2023, hours after the crash, local police and fire officials struggled to determine their roles.
The Larissa traffic police chief reportedly contacted fire investigators to clarify responsibilities. However, fire officials insisted the investigation fell under police jurisdiction.
“I stressed that the fire’s cause needed examination, as is standard, even in road accidents,” the police chief stated in testimony.
The fire department’s lead investigator, who had assumed her role just a day earlier, admitted she lacked the experience to oversee the probe.
Upon arrival at the crash site, she remained near her vehicle and did not issue directives.
Two junior firefighters conducted a brief inspection, took photographs, and left by dawn.
Disagreements also surfaced over the site’s preservation. The Larissa police director, now facing charges, claimed he lacked authority, while Greece’s civil protection secretary said key protocols were not activated.
