Sources: 4. Developments: 2. Evangelia Liakouli, a PASOK – Movement for Change Member of Parliament for Larissa, has been engaging with local communities to address regional crises. In late August, Liakouli visited Rapsani for a wine festival, where she addressed a viticulture crisis. She noted that the festival served as a form of protest following the bankruptcy of a company that reportedly left 60% of the Rapsani PDO wine production in crisis. Liakouli pledged to raise these producer struggles in the Greek Parliament. By late September, during a grape festival in Damasi, Liakouli highlighted the compounding hardships of the region. She noted that residents continue to live in containers due to previous earthquake damage and are facing further impacts from the climate crisis. She criticized the government for indifference toward the region and called for political change to support local production and citizen dignity. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-20: Evangelia Liakouli attends Grape Festival in Damasi PASOK MP Evangelia Liakouli attended the Grape Festival in Damasi, highlighting the community's resilience against earthquake damage and climate crises while calling for political change. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/evangelia-liakouli-attends-grape-festival-in-damasi ### 2026-08-27: Evangelia Liakouli visits Larissa to address local traditions and viticulture crisis Larissa MP Evangelia Liakouli visited Elatia and Rapsani, addressing local traditions and the economic crisis facing Rapsani viticulturists following a major production loss. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/evangelia-liakouli-visits-larissa-to-address-local-traditions-and-viticulture-crisis --- Cite as: Larissa regional crisis and political advocacy.
