Northern Euboea road infrastructure faces criticism over recurring damage

Greek Members of Parliament have submitted formal questions to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport regarding the deteriorating road network in Northern Euboea. The inquiries follow recent road collapses and landslides, specifically in the Prokopio–Mantungidi area, which have repeatedly isolated the region from the rest of the country during severe weather events.

SYRIZA MP Theodoras Akriotou highlighted that the area remains vulnerable following the 2021 wildfires, frequent flooding, and environmental issues like plane tree necrosis. She criticized the lack of permanent solutions, noting that despite previous government announcements of a 700 million euro reconstruction package and Recovery Fund support, the infrastructure remains unreliable and poses risks to human life, emergency services, and local commerce.

Similarly, KKE MP Giorgos Marinos accused the state of failing to address the chronic isolation of Northern Euboea. He characterized previous flood prevention projects as inadequate or superficial, alleging that significant public funds have been spent on temporary repairs that fail to provide long-term stability for the region's residents and economy.
