CORFU. "They have left us with no choice - inaction, indifference, incompetence and above all a complete lack of respect."
Temploni Cultural Society has issued a statement to let the public know why it has filed an injunction regarding Temploni landfill. If the injunction is accepted, it will mean that the operation of the waste baler at the Temploni facility will cease along with the depositing of waste next to the baler.
Statement
On Friday 1 February we filed an injunction, to be considered by the court on 13 February, against SYDISA, Corfu Municipality, Ionian Islands Regional Administration and other responsible bodies for the offence against the residents of Temploni due to criminal management with the actions and dereliction of the responsible bodies.
We have repeatedly expressed our fears and frustration regarding the POLLUTION of the environment in the area and throughout the island via all the means available in order to inform and call all the people in Corfu to action. They have left us with no choice - inaction, indifference, incompetence and above all a complete lack of respect for our rights to freedom according to the Constitution and the freedoms that are protected, prescribed and guaranteed therein. Because there is no freedom if you cannot live in your home. There is no freedom if you cannot sit outside your house, work on your land or go for a walk in your own village. There is no freedom if you cannot open your windows. There is no freedom when they do whatever they can to make you ill. There is no freedom when they PROHIBIT you from having clean air, water and from cultivating your land. These all belong to all of us. They don't belong to the local authority.
All we are asking for is the RESPECT that is our right according to the CONSTITUTION and the LAWS of GREECE.
WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR IS THE SELF-EVIDENT.
