“Evros is burning for the tenth day with the destruction being incalculable and the only thing the government cares about is hiding its responsibilities, even with attacks on the country’s scientific bodies”, he underlines in a statement by SYRIZA-PS and adds “Today, Mrs. Vultepsi, speaking of “numbers propaganda”, did not hesitate to attack the Athens Observatory for Meteo data, according to which with half the large forest fires this year, three times the area burned compared to the period of 2002 -2022″.

He also notes that “he was preceded by Mr. Skylakakis who disputed the data on the burned areas in Greece of the European Copernicus service”.

“No national plan to prevent and deal with forest fires can exist without the involvement of scientists. However, in its attempt to justify the unjustified, the New Democracy government, instead of listening to them, chooses the path of confrontation with them”, concludes the official opposition party’s announcement”.
