CORFU. The basic prerequisite for summer camps to operate is hidden in the words of Kazantzakis: "You have responsibility. You are not just governing your own small, insignificant existence."

The leader of the Kerkyra Psilla party Spyros Neratzis considers the excuse given by the Municipality for this year's summer camps not happening to be just a pretext.

He said in a statement that the infrastructure is still completely unsuitable for the basic needs of the children. He also posted recent photos of the toilet facilities, which are indicative of their condition today and demonstrate that very little work has been done on them and the repair and restoration work hasn't progressed despite the Municipality's assurances that the work would be completed in June.



Nevertheless, Central Corfu Municipality has said that the reason there can't be summer camps this year (again) is because of the lack of medical and nursing staff.

Statement from Spyros Neratzis:

"When the local authority calls the lack of toilets 'lack of medical and nursing staff': They announced at the beginning of August what we had foreseen at the beginning of July - that there won't be summer camps on Vidos in 2022 - but for a different reason.



The basic prerequisite for summer camps to operate is hidden in the words of Kazantzakis: "You have responsibility. You are not just governing your own small, insignificant existence."

Some comments:

1. The photos were taken a few days before the announcement regarding hiring staff.

2. In 2021 the summer camps in Gouvia operated without medical and nursing staff.

3. The last time there were summer camps on Vidos there wasn't a doctor.

4. At the summer camps on Vidos for hundreds of scouts and guides this year there were no doctors or nurses."
