The initiative group "Communities in Action", had a brief conversation and delivered a letter to President Nicos Anastasiades during his recent visit to the inauguration of the new stadium of Doxas Katokopia in Peristerona.
In a statement today, "Communities in Action" said that the letter reiterates the clear demand of the residents for the immediate revocation of the dangerous decision to install asphalt in Mitsero, which will adversely and irreparably affect the health and well-being of the residents of 12 communities in the area (Mitseros, Kato Moni, Agrokipia, Agios Ioannis, Arediou, Malounda, Menoikou, Agia Marina, Agios Epiphaneios, Kalo Chorio, Kleros, Orunda). They also stressed that under no circumstances will they allow the children of the affected communities to be victimized and put in mortal danger living in an extremely degraded and dangerous environment.
They also requested a private meeting, with the President responding positively for a settlement. At this meeting, the Initiative Group intends to present to the President the reasons why the decision is wrong, unjust and dangerous, and to deliver the volume with the thousands of signatures against the installation of asphalt in Mitsero.
Finally, it is pointed out that in the event that the state proceeds to issue the building permit for the asphalt plant of Prometheas Asphalt Ltd, the residents of the area and those who support their struggle will stop the installation of the asphalt plant in every way possible.
