Androulakis demands off-the-agenda debate in parliament on catastrophic Attica wildfires

Opposition PASOK-Movement for Change leader Nikos Androulakis on Wednesday called for an immediate off-the-agenda debate in parliament on the recent catastrophic fires in Attica, noting that "the time has come" for the Prime Minister to explain the "executive chaos" in his governments.
In letter to Parliament President Konstantinos Tasoulas, Androulakis stated that "for yet another year, our country found itself facing devastating fires that came within a few kilometers of the centre of Athens, with a tragic outcome. One woman lost her life, tens of thousands of acres of burnt land, a huge ecological disaster and loss of property for hundreds of our fellow citizens".
He also pointed out that "PASOK-Movement of Change has presented specific proposals for the reorganisation of the forest firefighting system with new comprehensive and modern civil protection plans that will respond to the new data, which the government stubbornly refuses to evaluate. In addition, we must ensure that the support of our affected fellow citizens, the restoration of the economic and social life of the affected areas, as well as the full restoration of the natural environment will be done on terms of sustainability."
