CORFU. "Corfu Municipality never sent a request for the MAT to come to Corfu to ensure that the South Corfu landfill could operate properly."
Following Civil Protection Minister Olga Gerovasili's statement during her visit to Corfu that it had been requested that the riot police (MAT) be sent to Corfu in the summer of 2018, Mayor Kostas Nikolouzos made the following statement:
"Corfu Municipality never sent a request for the MAT to come to Corfu to ensure that the South Corfu landfill could operate properly. In fact, we repeatedly told ministerial representatives of the difficulties in operating the landfill. The decision to send the MAT here was taken on a national level at the Interministerial Committee.
It should be noted that when Ms Gerovasili took over as Minister for Civil Protection the MAT were already in Corfu."
