Greece: Infrastructure safety and radio station blackout spark political inquiries
In Greece, political leaders are raising concerns over infrastructure safety and municipal management. Kostas Karpetas, head of the ‘Mazí Allázoume – Dytiki Ellada’ faction, has petitioned the Regional Council regarding dangerous, abandoned excavations on the 111 National Road (Patras-Tripoli). These excavations, created for lighting installation works, have reportedly remained open for six months in the Erymanthos municipality, causing vehicle damage.
Separately, the ‘Athens Ypsila’ faction, led by Kostas Bakoyannis, is demanding answers from the Municipality of Athens following a 36-hour blackout at the Athens 9.84 radio station. The interruption was caused by a fire in the station's underground facilities. The faction has criticized the administration for a lack of emergency planning and potential failure to comply with legal requirements regarding signal loss reporting to regulatory authorities.
