We do not consent to fast track processes. We want to be discussed, normally pre -trial – as the Constitution provides – and to freely collect data to make a thorough investigation, “he said.

Since then and after 1,269,000 hectares – Inside – the following year we go to 1,390,000 hectares. That is, about 1,300,000 acres increased. Sheep and goats were the same increasing tendency. From 10.870.00 – according to ELSTAT – they were made within a year with OPEKEPE 18,000,000. Increased by 7,000,000. At the same time, the national reserve in pastures of 14,725,000 in 2019 – with very small differences in previous years – goes to 34,000,000 in 2020, that is, more than doubles. ” He argued that the above shows that the government’s argument, that it has been distortions of years, has been wrecked.
