Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is currently addressing the Cabinet Meeting, where he is expected to fully present the government’s stance both on the upcoming demonstrations and the overall public debate surrounding Tempi.

This is a national tragedy that should unite us under the demand for truth and justice, as well as the fight against long-standing mistakes and dysfunctions of the state apparatus.

The day after tomorrow, many of our fellow citizens will gather in public squares to honor the memory of the victims, to send the self-evident message that the truth must come to light and those responsible must be punished. They will rightfully demand safer transportation.

There will also be those who demonstrate against the government, but the state must ensure that:

• The police will be present to protect both the demonstrators and their right to assembly.
• A sense of responsibility is expected from those organizing the protests.

Some people want to turn pain into national division and reduce it to their own political slogan.

Closure

Some want to turn national grief into a call for destabilization.

We have a duty to prevent any challenge to our internal stability.

Greece has paid a steep price for the divisive protests of the past—we will not relive them.

Those who envision tomorrow as a turning point for violent upheavals will find us standing against them.

Society does not want to descend into internal turmoil at a time when the international landscape is already uncertain.

If the opposition wants to submit a motion of no confidence, let them do so—we will stand against it. In a democracy, there are no dead ends, and this will be proven once again.

We are here to unite Greeks and the many who will protest tomorrow. Just as we turned the grief of Mati into a springboard for an effective civil protection policy, let Tempi be the catalyst for modernizing our railways.
