In a post on X, Plakias first referred to Georgiadis’s claim that ‘Konstantopoulou and some of the relatives’ lawyers do not want the trial to take place’.
‘But I saw something else on Monday. If you wanted to refute the above, you could simply have protected the process. Floridis did not send even a simple team to check the room to see if it was suitable or not. And I’m not just talking about the layout, but even about the microphones that were not working,’ he wrote.
He then turned to those facing charges in the case.
‘The indictment includes many senior executives of the former Hellenic Railways Organisation (OSE). But they are also executives of your party apparatus. They are people who came from within DAP, whom you placed there to receive very high salaries reaching €16,400 a month.’
Plakias went on to question the government’s intentions directly.
‘And I wonder: maybe you don’t want the trial to take place and have found allies among your enemies? Does all this satisfy you more? I’m here. I know better than anyone the what, how and why,’ he said.
In closing, he referred to the former OSE president, who is accused of criminal offences, saying that he ‘walks around the room as if he were strolling in Zappeion and no one bothers him’.
‘All this makes me think strange thoughts. But now they are no longer thoughts. They are reality,’ he concluded.
