The SYRIZA-PS president adorned the fact that once again, despite the big words of the government, the country has proven unprepared.

In his statements to the media, the president of SYRIZA-PS stressed:

“Despite Mr Mitsotakis’ big words every year for the preparation of our country against the fires, it turns out that Greece is becoming increasingly weaker.

While the climate crisis requires a strong state, Mr Mitsotakis hates everything public, such as the prevention of fires, the organization of the state for fire fighting and rehabilitation.

This year our country has much more burnt areas than last year, according to data by the end of July, while at the level of Mediterranean countries, we have much larger fires than other countries.

There is a great deal of delay in preparing the state. SYRIZA-PS has submitted a comprehensive proposal for a progressive policy so that there is a strong state to protect both the citizen and the environment.

There is a serious deficit and a great weakness in preventing fires with strong forest services. There is a question of coordination in fire fighting and preparation, as the government is facing contracts with MAT and tear gas firefighters when they are demanding permanent employment.

We came here in East Attica to put the big issue of the next day. The next day requires immediate delineation of burnt areas to have compensation and environmental protection. And anti -corrosion – flood protection projects and declare a reforestation of the fireplace forest area, as well as citizens’ support.

To come to the workshops to complete the inspection and give the compensation of household and first assistance, to support the local community both at the level of the agricultural economy and the professionals. There is compensation for both farmers and professionals who have been affected.

In East Attica there is another big issue. The theme of spatial planning, that is, the arrangement of forest maps and urban planning, which is a major deficit of the Mitsotakis government. It must also be resolved so that we can have complete solutions for citizens and the environment. ”

Socrates Famellos met, among other things, with Lavreotiki Mayor Dimitris Loukas, Civil Protection Vice Mayor Panagiotis Flevaris, the President of the Saronikou Community “Aeolos” Michalis Rokkos, the President of the Commercial Association.
