Prime Minister of Greece Alexis Tsipras, took responsibility on Friday (27) by the forest fire that killed at least 86 people in a speech to the Council of ministers. The opposition accuses the Greek government of not protecting its citizens.
Deputy Minister of Citizen Protection Nikos Toskas reported on Thursday (26) that the fires could be of criminal origin. I called here today to badume all the political responsibility for this tragedy before my cabinet and the Greek people, "he said. I will not conceal that I am filled with mixed feelings right now … pain, devastation for unexpected and unjustly lost human lives. But also the anxiety of knowing if we acted correctly in all that we did. "
After three days of national mourning, the opposition returned Friday against the executive of Alexis Tsipras." New Democracy, the main opposition party, criticized Thursday night a government press conference in which no excuse has been made
The pressure is mounting especially since the government is behind the New Democracy in opinion polls, at a time when he had finally hoped to take Greece out of the ransom years brought on by his debt crisis and reap the political benefits.
Victims
On Friday, the head of the Athens Legal Medical Service, Nikos Karakouis, wore the number of deaths at 86. The previous record was 82.
At Mati, the area most affected by fires, rescue teams continued to search for the missing, while the autopsy "From 75 % to 80% of the bodies are calcined ", explained the 9.84 radio radio, president of the Greek forensic council.

Greek government officials have been challenging urban planning and construction violations for decades. The government pointed out that in this area of the coast of Attica, at least 4,000 houses were erected irregularly in the midst of pine forests.
"All Greece is built on this model," Interior Minister Panos Skourletis lamented. He recalled that his government "will have to face organized interests".
This type of mea culpa is common to the Greek authorities after every fateful fire, but does not lead to concrete measures to prevent violations of urban planning rules.
