Zoi Konstantopoulou: What she stated from Larissa about Georgiadis, paramilitary state, Chrysochoidis, and Tempi
Zoi Konstantopoulou criticized Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis during her visit to Larissa for the trial related to the Tempi tragedy.
Zoi Konstantopoulou, a prominent lawyer for the families affected by the February 2023 Tempi tragedy, made pointed remarks against Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis during her appearance in Larissa, where a trial concerning videos linked to the disaster is taking place. She disclosed that a police officer had informed Georgiadis about her lawsuit against him, raising serious concerns about government complicity in illegal activities. Konstantopoulou also referred to a text message she sent to Minister Michalis Chrysochoidis, urging him to either ask Georgiadis to resign or to step down himself as Minister of Citizen Protection.
In her statements, Konstantopoulou emphasized the serious allegations against the government and pointed out that Georgiadis had effectively admitted to the government's involvement in operations linked to a 'paramilitary state'. She highlighted the contradiction of having a minister so deeply entangled in improper conduct overseeing the health sector, questioning the integrity and safety of the government's actions amidst a tragedy that affected many families.
The ongoing trial in Larissa aims to address the implications of the Tempi tragedy and scrutinize the role of various officials during and after the incident, which resulted in significant public outcry. Konstantopoulou's statements aim to hold government officials accountable and to push for transparency in the investigation of the circumstances surrounding the disaster. Her fervent advocacy against these officials is a significant development in the public discourse regarding governmental accountability in Greece.
