“After two and a half weeks I am in close communication with the mayor and with the scientists watching the phenomenon, we have chosen to make a visit to listen to you, the island’s institutions,” SYRIZA President Socrates Famellos said during the meeting he had with bodies, employees and businessmen of Santorini.

“We have already met with the mayor, with the governor and with Mr. Lekka and we want to hear you because the extra element we want to add to our proposal is how we deal with the economic and social imprint of this development of the last three weeks.” , the president of SYRIZA noted.

“There are risks and uncertainties that are created by the new phenomena of our lives. Some are old. The seismic and volcanic danger is an old phenomenon, we just now have science next to us, more and more.

We believe in a strong state that has incorporated scientific knowledge. This is a European acquis for us. And in a state that has the potential to apply the so -called zero deficit clause.

The zero deficit clause is to come the state and cover what is missing from the local community because of an external phenomenon.

We cannot cover the damage of a business from the businessman’s choices, but we can say that what is missing as income, as GDP, from an area because of e.g. A zoonoso or apoptosis, the state must be adequately covered.

Whatever it turns out as a development, because we still have a three -week experience, the state should either be either for the short -term phenomenon or for any other development, to be able to guarantee societies that there will be no deficit. This deficit is a deficit of income, social functions and to some extent it is a deficit of democratic rights, because all citizens must have equal rights in the Greek state. “
