The Elliniko-Argiroupolis municipal authority expresses its grief over Sunday's fatal accident at a funfair operating in the city, which resulted in the death of a 13-year-old boy and the severe injury of his 9-year-old sister.

“We express our grief on the tragic incident, not by speaking to several media, but by standing by the side of the family and support it

with specific actions, to the extent that we are able to do so,” the Elliniko-Argiroupolis municipal authority said in a statement.

It was also noted that an investigation regarding the circumstances of the accident as well as those responsible for the setting up and operation of the funfair, as well as the certified safety of its games is already underway.

“For this reason, we have not made any statements on who is to be considered accountable. Not because we are hiding, but because we respect the procedure underway,” the announcement pointed out adding that the targeted attack against it by some journalists, politicians and local organizations serves different interests.
