Seismologist Akis Zelentis posted heavy criticism of the illegal construction in Santorini, where the seismic activity continues, with many residents leaving the island in fear of greater earthquake.

“When man’s greed for profit blinds him and does not see that he lives or invests in an environment in which there are two active volcanoes and a seismic rift further, which in 1956 gave an earthquake of 7.7 r with a tsunami of 25 m. But it is that the urban planning When the matter raised her, she replied that because of the seismicity cannot carry out checks While this outrageous illegality started long before the beginning of the seismicity! “ The former Director of the Geodynamic Institute is mentioned, among other things,.

In detail, his post:

“Santorini: ” Digging the unstable hunting land where it is not allowed ”

Illegal construction under the nose (or what is likely above) of the principles of the island. The particular morphology of the area allows discretion in violations, on the other hand, there is a “omere” to contractors who undertake arbitrary extensions with additional financial benefit.

The photo shows the extent of the crafting work on the Caldera of Santorini, as well as the presence of building tools left to the point of younger, in the midst of seismic activity.

” The paychecks in these cases are twice as high and the concrete often goes 600-700 euros per cubic, while in a level construction it would be up to 400 ”.

When human greed for profit blinds him and does not see that he lives or invests in an environment in which there are two active volcanoes and an earthquake further, which in 1956 gave an earthquake of 7.7 R with a 25m tsunami.

But the tragic thing is that the Town Planning, when the matter raised her, replied (see letter) that because of the seismicity she could not carry out checks while this outrageous illegality began much before the beginning of the seismicity!

Who do you work in miserable? I wonder how far this nonsense will reach. What does the municipality do? Holds the lamp of the complex? It is a great deal. “
