Messenia MP Alexis Charitsis has raised concerns regarding a significant funding deficit for infrastructure and flood protection in the Taygetos mountain region. 

Reports indicate that while over 15 million euros are required for essential restoration works following extreme weather and heavy rainfall, only 2 million euros have been secured. This leaves a gap of approximately 13 million euros. The lack of funding affects the Alagonia communities and the Kalamata Municipality, where landslides and road subsidence have damaged critical routes, including those connecting Nedousa to Mardaki and Alagonia, and the Karvelio–Lada–Sparta axis. Charitsis has called for a multi-year intervention program to address these safety and accessibility issues.
