With out cash, with vice-mayors… “all-knowing” and the switch of accountability to residents and native authorities, the Ministry of Civil Safety seeks to keep away from any damaging conditions arising throughout this yr’s hearth season.
The problem of fireplace safety is certainly a “sizzling one”, with the options given by the political management largely unworkable, regardless of the compliance proven by the vast majority of residents to clear plots.

It’s typical, for instance, that the municipalities at the moment are required to gather all of the stays of the pruning and cleansing of the plots, personal and public, with out even having a licensed place to deposit them, which might additionally convey them head to head with justice within the occasion of a fireplace .
The preliminary place of the mayor Thomas Bega initially of the assembly, throughout which he confirmed the way in which for mobilizations of the electors, in case the ears of these in cost stay closed, was not unintended. “Society ought to know this stuff and we, as a self-government, should spotlight them in order that the true duties attributed to us are attributed to us,” famous Mr. Begas.
This was adopted by questions from Nikos Gonda and Pantelis Kolokas, amongst others, concerning hearth safety and the cleansing of the grasses, with Mr. Chrysostomou referring to the issues that exist. Amongst different issues, it was identified the necessity to take measures, even by the refugees and migrants themselves, who stay within the Katsika camp, because the Ministry of Migration and Asylum has not taken care of the cleansing of the weeds, with the situations being significantly harmful.
“Within the Workplace of Civil Safety there’s solely me, who, along with the mayor, will probably be accountable if one thing occurs. And it isn’t simply the plans for fires that now we have to make, it is also the plans for snow in winter, floods, earthquakes. If I knew methods to do all this, I might be in NASA and never within the Municipality of Ioannito”, famous Mr. Chrysostomou, whereas earlier he had referred to the latest – pre-election – assembly of the Minister of Civil Safety Vassilis Kikilia, throughout which the minister didn’t let him to talk and convey the issues as a result of… “he’s PASOKos…”.
Fireworks with… exceptions
In his query, the PASOK MP – KIN.AL. Yiannis Tsimaris notes that the exemption from financing the development of fireplace safety zones makes it troublesome for the effectiveness of fireplace safety within the area of Epirus.
