On Sunday evening, December 20, 2020, the Press Office of the official opposition party issued a scathing statement regarding the fact that the prime minister appears to be confused regarding what local government officials had actually proposed to him regarding the case of Thessaloniki.
In its announcement, the Press Office notes the following:
«Two weeks ago, Mr. Mitsotakis In a television interview, speaking about the complete loss of control in Thessaloniki that is costing human lives every day, he had said: «No one had asked us to close earlier, nor had any expert recommended that we do so.».
Today, the person in charge Deputy Minister of Civil Protection Mr. Hardalias, contradicts the prime minister and admits that Mr. Tzitzikostas, Regional Governor of Central Macedonia had been proposed universal lockdown and cancellation of the events celebrating Saint Demetrius in a timely manner, something the government ignored.
Ο Prime Minister in order to justify his resounding failure to control the situation, not only lies publicly, but he also doesn't hesitate to expose local government officials, such as the regional governor of Central Macedonia.
»As the situation worsens, members of the government themselves will be forced to expose one another, admitting their criminal mistakes and their negligence."
