PM Mitsotakis: The climate crisis is is dangerous and threatening for all
"The fires do not have political colour," he said and expressed his support to all those that suffered from the wildfires. He reassured that the state will immediately complete the compensations' process as well as the restoration of the burnt forests.
Mitsotakis reiterated that the preparation this year was better, however, the state mechanism was confronted with a cocktail of unprecedented phenomena. "There were weeks with 500 wildfires and we had extreme level 5 alert levels 7 times. Last year we did not have any in order to understand the extreme conditions with which we were confronted."
Concerning the wildfire in Parnitha, he said that it was immediately detected by the police and the first water dropping from a helicopter was held 5 or 6 minutes after but this was not enough to contain it.
