Minister of National Economy and Finance Kyriakos Pierrakakis contacted Attica Regional Governor Nikos Chardalia and Rafina-Pikermi mayors Dimitra Tseva Mila and Marathon Stergio Tsirkas.

The reason, according to ministry circles, was the announcement of the Association of Relatives and Burners from the fire in Eye and their reports that these local authorities still carry out appeals against first -instance decisions, despite the laws that were voted on by the law and the legislative regulation and the lawsuits voted on by the law. For the State and for Local Government.

Both the Attica Region and the Municipalities assure that they will be withdrawn immediately by any claim, which is attributed to the incorrect action of the competent services.

In the last month, the State, through the State Legal Council, has resigned from four cases in the Court of Appeal, with minutes 3088/2025, 1880/2025, 2462/2025, 2463/2025. There will be a resignation from all cases in the Court of Appeal, and the first and second grade Local Authorities will take place.

The will of the Government and the Ministry of Finance, the same agents say, is clear and expressed by the adoption of this particular legislative provision for the Eye and Mandra (Article 224, Law 5193/2025). In the next few weeks, new legislation will be submitted that will delineate the public appeals against citizens in a filter and rational.

Earlier, the Association of Relatives and Burners of 23-7-2018 in eastern Attica complained that the Region and the Municipalities of Rafina and Marathon still submit appeals against decisions concerning the victims of the fire that burned the Eye, despite the legislative For victims of the flood in Mandra.

The announcement states that:

“Relatives of the deceased and bastards, for 7 years now we are almost trying to discern and highlight the truth behind what concerns the events of the tragedy that has always been the lives of all of us in every way, watching what has been playing in the aftermath.

As we have repeatedly emphasized, the tragedy of July 23, 2018 and the state of the state is not only concerned with us but all society as our own position can be found.

Article 224 of Law 5193/2025 has been published as of 11/4/2025, stipulates that: the Greek State or the OTA. 1st or 2nd degree do not exercise a remedy or resign from the prosecuted decisions of the Primary Administrative Courts, at the expense of the Greek State or the Local Government Organizations (OTAs) a) or a ‘grade in accordance with the provisions on civil liability:

(a) Mental disturbance due to mental distress in favor of a family of person who died or due to moral injury due to face injury and

(b) Hospitals, funeral expenses or provision under Article 931 of the Civil Code (Presidential Decree 456/1984, A ‘164) or during the flood of 15.11.2017 in the wider area of ​​Mandra Attica or during the fire that occurred on 23.7.2018 in East Attica.

However, there is already the phenomenon of the municipalities of Rafina and Marathon as well as the Attica Region, opposed to the above -mentioned legislative provision, after the law is adopted, to submit appeals against definitive decisions, continuing our mockery and suffering, but not to prove it, How the Local Authorities have completely depreciated the institutions, the value of human life, and the respect for relatives of the deceased victims and the basting victims.

Indeed, the laws of this otherwise favored state what are the applicable capacity and who do they do? “

The announcement of the Attica Region

On the occasion of the issue, the Attica Region issued a statement stating that reports on the appeals on the part of the Attica Region do not reflect the truth, adding that it has already launched to withdraw the appeals in the past.

In detail, the region’s announcement states:

“Regarding publications referring to the appeals on the part of the Attica Region in Second Degree to pay compensation to the victims of the 2018 deadly fire in Mati, the following are noted:

What is mentioned in these publications does not in any way reflect the truth, and more much in terms of the actions of this regional authority to heal wounds by this mass tragedy.

In the present case, the minimum appeals brought by the Attica Region in the past had already been submitted before the new law was passed and the issuance of the appointment of the applicable provisions accompanying it, pursuant to the applicable law. Indeed, with the personal mandate of Attica Regional Governor Nikos Chardalia, the region’s legal service has already launched proper actions for their withdrawal, utilizing the forecasts of the new law.

The administration of the Region, with respect to the memory of our unjust fellow humans and the constant mourning of their relatives, is and will always be next to the victims of the tragedy, to support their struggle for justification in every possible, legitimate way. It goes without saying that the compensation planned will be paid to the legal beneficiaries, as a minimal debt to those who left in such a tragic way.

Beyond that, again with respect and a sense of responsibility, the Regional Authority launches in cooperation with the stakeholders all the necessary initiatives and actions to ensure the best terms of the basin and protection of the lives and property of citizens from the consequences of climate.
