SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance called on Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to resign “so Greece can be led in an orderly manner to democratic elections,” in a video he posted on social media on Sunday.

His response was prompted among others by media reports alleging manipulation of evidence in order to claim the fatal Tempi train collision in February 2023 was caused by human error rather than by negligence at official level.

The main opposition leader said that elections should be held “in the presence of international observers, because a prime minister whose government manipulates criminal evidence, surveils political and military leaders through the National Intelligence Service and Predator software, and divulges citizens’ personal data for electoral purposes cannot hold fair elections without a shadow of doubt.” He then called on Mitsotakis to respond within 24 hours.

Kasselakis said he decided to address citizens sooner than the end of his military service ends because “developments are rapid.” The party leader is serving a brief military service in fulfiment of his obligations as Greek citizen.

The government has denied the reports through the government spokesman on Saturday and government sources, among others, on Sunday.
