Ministry’s announcement Climate crisis and civil protection which followed our “Black Bible” is not an answer; it is a panic, the joint announcement of two of his executives PASOK, TThe MP of Argolida and in charge of the Parliamentary Sector of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection, Andrea Poulas and the Department of Climate Crisis and Resilience, Michalis Halaris.
Instead of giving substantial elements, instead of standing honestly In the face of the questions raised by the PASOK Change, they resorted to a lengthy “exposure of ideas” with irrelevant references, communication representations and self-sacrifice. They talk about a “vision” when they hide the truth: there is neither accountability nor plan, they note and continue:
The reality is relentless:
· They never answered the central question: When will the Ministry acquire the General Secretariat for Civil Protection and the rest of the bodies of the organizational chart and institutional framework. Without it, we are talking about a ministry.
· They never responded because there is no mandatory risk-informedSpatialplanning, that is, binding risks in spatial planning. Instead of clear commitments, silence.
· They never responded how the prevention-restoration resources were distributed. We asked the question measured: When will we see 60%-40%, instead of today’s 80%-20%? The answer? No number, no commitment, only generalologies.
· They never responded to the institutional gap of the National Civil Protection Commander who in practice cancels the law itself they themselves voted for.
Instead of a dialogue in the essentials, they chose a list of “showcase” actions, many of which either stay on paper or prove to be unrelated to real needs.
For DEEE (Arson Crimes Address)
We are told about “over 300 arrests”. But let them answer with information:
· How many of these arrests eventually proved to be a real guilt?
· How many convictions were issued?
Because it is another to display “hot” numbers in front of the cameras, and another to prove serious investigation and judicial final. Society does not want communication shows nor “handcuffs” – it wants results, it wants prevention, it wants justice.
For the ‘successes’ they invoke
· They talk about increased firefighting staff, but they hide that it remains multi -faceted, without a single framework, with hostage -taking and inadequate education.
· They talk about more aerial means, but the country is operating in 2025 with just 9 of the 24 Canadair, and the possibility of upgrading 8 aircraft due to government impotence has been lost.
· They talk about 112, but they fail to say that it does not save lives on its own unless it is accompanied by a plan of evacuations, prevention and spatial durability.
· They talk about the “AEGIS” program, but they conceal that absorption is low, that PEKEPPs have been dismissed and that local communities have not received real support.
Instead of answering the questions posed by PASOK -Change, the government resorted to its favorite recipe:
communication instead of substance,
self -sacrifice instead of self -criticism,
Responsibility of liability instead of liability.
Citizens do not need ministries-letters or announcements.
It takes a government that can, not a government to pretend.
The New Democracy responded elsewhere to panic elsewhere. The answer was nothing more than a hasty staple of projects and programs. No answer to these questions, only “hot” communication.
But Greece can no longer walk with illusions.
