The initiative “Communities in Action” has plans to protest Tuesday at noon outside the ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment, on the contested decision to relocate the Prometheas Asphalt Ltd factory to Mitsero.
“We will continue our struggle until justification, until this criminal decision is withdrawn. Measures will be getting stronger and stronger,” the protesters said in a written statement on Monday.
The protesting communities are those of Ayia Marina, Ayios Epiphanios, Ayios Ioannis, Agrokipia, Arediou, Kalo Chorio Orini, Kato Moni, Klirou, Malounta, Menoikou, Mitsero and Orounda.
The communities have stated that they repeatedly feel “abandoned by the state itself” and have no option but to protect themselves from the toxic factory, referred to as a death factory, which the state insists on moving next to their children.
The protesters also argue that the schools in Mitsero are closer to the chosen location for the asphalt plant than the Dali schools are to the current location.
