“The crime did not become a lesson for the government. After the tragedies of Rhodes, Corfu, Nea Anchialos, Boeotia, Alexandroupoli, which have already cost dozens of human lives, turning to ashes the government’s narrative that the core of its policy is the protection of human life, another great disaster is unfolding.” emphasizes the KKE in a statement from the party’s Press Office.

He notes at the same time that in less than 1.5 months and after burning approximately 80,000 acres in Mandra and Eastern Attica, the fiery blaze is once again burning people’s properties and the few green lungs that are left, due to the government’s criminal policy.

As the KKE points out in its announcement, “the fires that broke out this morning, in a number of areas of Attica, in Elefsina next to the Thriasio Hospital, in Kalyvia, in Lavrio, in Aspropyrgos which are burning in the uncontrolled dumps and industries with the danger of an industrial accident lurking, in Hasia with the visible risk of spreading to Parnitha during the night hours, while houses have already burned, reveal the great nakedness of the state apparatus which is still deforested of the necessary personnel and means because it faces the protection of life , of public property and the environment as a cost”.

He underlines that the fires could have been contained if there were not 4500 gaps in firefighters, if all the necessary preventive measures had been taken.

“All of the above are the eternal responsibility of governments, which is why the ND government is once again resorting to the well-known “run to save yourself” with the continuous 112 messages, which, however, cannot put out the fires.

The criminal policy of supporting business interests at the expense of working-people’s needs was demonstrated once again today, with the government’s failure to evacuate large workplaces in Aspropyrgos and while a dangerous cocktail had been formed from the fire that burned garbage, which it was done only after the persistent interventions of KKE MPs in the Ministry. of labor and trade unionists on the ground”, the KKE claims, pointing out that its members and executives are present in the areas being tested and calls for “maximum possible popular mobilization and solidarity, in order to save what can be saved in conjunction with the claim that it is also necessary to escalate the fight against criminal politics” assigning all the responsibilities to the government.
