CORFU. The German State TV channel ARD was at Lefkimmi landfill yesterday filming the scenes of tension between the local residents and the riot police (MAT).
Corfu Mayor Kostas Nikolouzos gave an interview this morning to the TV channel, which is doing a report on the landfills in Athens and Corfu.
The subject of the interview was waste management. The Mayor gave a detailed history of waste management in Corfu and the construction of the landfills in Temploni and Lefkimmi as well as explaining how we arrived at the present crisis.
He said that the problem had been swept under the carpet for years and added that the way in which the Temploni facility had been operating over the years had led to today's absurd situation. He also told the interviewer that the operation in Lefkimmi is completely legal on all levels.
Finally, he updated them on the local authority's plan (included the complete renovation of Temploni landfill) not only for Interim Management but also for Integrated Waste Management.
The Mayor said, "There is no easy solution to the problem - only with recourse to reason can it be solved."
