Greek MPs raise concerns over Anopoli waste unit and Kalochori irrigation delays
In the Greek Parliament, PASOK-Movement for Change MPs have raised two distinct regional issues. Eleni Vatsina, MP for Heraklion, has called for government clarification regarding the establishment of a construction and demolition waste processing unit in the former quarry of Anopoli. Local residents and organizations have expressed strong opposition to the facility, citing potential negative impacts on quality of life, including increased noise, dust, traffic congestion, and safety concerns. Vatsina is seeking details on the licensing process and whether local objections were considered.
Separately, Evangelia Liakouli, MP for Larissa, has addressed the ongoing delay in the electrification of an irrigation project in the Kalochori-Cheimadi area. Despite the project being completed in November 2023, it remains non-functional. Local farmers report that the lack of electricity is threatening crops during a critical irrigation period. Liakouli has requested immediate government and HEDNO intervention to complete the work and is calling for potential compensation for affected producers.
