Greek water infrastructure and management disputes

Overview

Political representatives in Greece have raised alarms regarding water infrastructure and management. In Aetolia-Acarnania, Member of Parliament Miltiadis Zambaras reported severe water shortages in several locations, including Missolonghi and Astako. He attributed the crisis to aging networks and insufficient infrastructure rather than a lack of natural resources, criticizing the government for a lack of a cohesive plan and expressing concerns over the potential privatization of water.

In the Peloponnese, Manolis Makaris, leader of the ‘Prota i Peloponnisos’ faction, criticized the mismanagement of irrigation projects. He alleged that the neglect of infrastructure, such as the lack of distribution networks for the Filiatrino dam and stalled progress on the Asopos dam, is a strategy to facilitate water privatization. Makaris also highlighted issues regarding unpaid land expropriations and outstanding debts to contractors.
