Stefanos Kasselakis blamed the government and the Ministry of Environment for the dead fish in Lake Karla that ended up in Pagasitikos, during his visit today to the capital of Magnesia.

The president of SYRIZA, who arrived in Volos shortly after noon, visited the Xiria stream, where the protective net has been installed to prevent the additional burden of the Pagasitikos and expressed his surprise at the picture he saw.

Mr. Kasselakis referred to the problem that has arisen with the environmental burden of the port of Volos, but also of the Pagasitikos gulf and pointed out the chain environmental and socio-economic effects and the great need for immediate interventions to support the local economy.

He wondered “where is the Ministry of the Environment, which has the project under Carla’s supervision” and added that “they let the district pull the snake out of the hole. What is being done in Magnesia is immoral and bankrupts an entire generation,” said the president of SYRIZA PS and added that those affected by the fires and floods of 2023 have not yet received the compensation they should, saying that “this is an unimaginable mockery ».

At 1 p.m. the president of SYRIZA went to the building of the Region of Thessaly where a meeting was held, during which he was informed by the involved bodies, the causes of the environmental burden of the waters of the gulf and the possible risks to public health, the effects on local economy, the immediate and necessary interventions to strengthen the affected sectors and preventive interventions to prevent the recurrence of similar phenomena were discussed.
