“See how it was before Petralona, the New World, the Ampelokipoi, the Koukaki – and how it is today,” the Athens municipal lineup speaks.
Pictures of shame in Athens parks is mentioned by the Athens Municipal Party, noting that the state of greenery in Athens is unfortunately frustrating.
“See how it was before Petralona, the New World, the Ampelokipoi, the Koukaki – and how it is today. Pictures of abandonment and indifference, “she notes in a statement and adds:
“As a municipal authority we had devoted a lot of time, energy and resources to the green of the city. Not only to upgrade its image, but to improve the daily life of its inhabitants. Because green is a public good. It’s a breath, it’s a quality of life. In every neighborhood of Athens one will hear about our “our” park, “Our” Square. And this “us” means something. As a lady in Petralona told us: “The park is my license this summer, because I will not be able to go on vacation.”
Today’s image is shameful. It is not worth it in the city or its people. And cannot continue.
Athens needs a municipal authority that will not be indifferent. That will respect the public space and take care of it. We will not stop reminding, claiming, fighting.
Green is not a luxury. It’s a right. “
