Isitimela esithwala abantu abangaphezu kuka-350 yashayisana nesitimela sezimpahla NgoLwesibili kusihlwa eTempi, eduze nedolobha laseLarissa, kwashona okungenani abantu abangu-57 kwalimala inqwaba.
Ababhikishi bebelokhu betheleka emigwaqweni kulandela ingozi ebulale abantu abaningi, nentukuthelo esabalele ngerekhodi lokuphepha kololiwe kuleli. Kuqubuke uthuthuva olusha ngeSonto, lapho ababhikishi betholana phezulu namaphoyisa e-Athens ezigcawini okulindeleke ukuthi zibonakale ezweni lonke.
“Lobu bugebengu akumele bumbozwe, sizoba yizwi labo bonke abangasekho,” kube esinye seziqubulo embhikishweni wangeSonto e-Athens.
Esitatimendeni, uMitsotakis uthe akumele kwenzeke ukuthi izitimela ezimbili ezihamba zibheke ezinhlangothini ezihlukene “zibe semzileni owodwa futhi zinganakwa muntu.”
“Njengondunankulu, ngikweleta wonke umuntu, kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke ezihlotsheni zezisulu, ngiyaxolisa kakhulu. Kokubili mina uqobo, nasegameni labo bonke ababusa izwe iminyaka,” kusho uMitsotakis.
Ireferensi yephutha lomuntu iphawula ushintsho lwethoni ukusuka kundunankulu. Ngemva kwalokhu kushayisana wasola “iphutha elibi lomuntu.”
Isitatimende sakhe sakamuva nakuba siphakamise izinkinga ezihleliwe kunethiwekhi yesitimela saseGreece, ethembisa izimemezelo ezinsukwini ezizayo “zokuthuthukisa ngokushesha ukuphepha kwezitimela.”
NgoLwesine ngemva kokuba umphathi wesiteshi sesitimela eboshiwe eLarissa mayelana nokushayisana, iziphathimandla zaseGreece zenze imibhalo eqoshiwe yomphakathi eveza ukuthi omunye wabashayeli besitimela ababehilelekile uthole iziyalezo zokuthi angalinaki irobhothi elibomvu.
IGreece inomlando omubi wokuphepha kwabagibeli bezitimela uma iqhathaniswa namanye amazwe ase-Europe, iqopha inani eliphakeme kakhulu lokushona kukaloliwe ngesigidi samakhilomitha wezitimela ukusuka ngonyaka ka-2018 kuya ku-2020 phakathi kwezizwe ezingama-28 ezwenikazi, ngokusho kombiko ka-2022 ovela ku-European Union Agency for Railways.
Ukushayisana kwezimoto kushiye izinqola eziwile futhi kwashisa nemfucumfucu ngemuva kwayo. Abaningi ababegibele kwakungabantu abasha ababebuyela emakhaya bevela ngempelasonto yamaholide.
Ungqongqoshe wezokuthutha kuleli wesulile esikhundleni kulandela lesi sibhicongo kanti inyunyana yabasebenzi bezitimela yateleka isola uhulumeni ngokungalunaki lolu hlelo.
