CORFU. Fossil Free Corfu was in Annunziata Square to raise public awareness regarding the protection of the seas - Keep Them Oil and Gas Free.

This was a continuation of the actions that heve been taking place in Corfu recently. Fossil Free Corfu is warning that drilling for hydrocarbons is a threat to the safety and survival of the planet and does not aid economic development as it will create problems for tourism and provide no benefits for the country's public revenue.

Fossil Free Corfu asked members of the public to add their signatures to their demand and told Enimerosi that there has been a positive response, not only from locals but also from tourists who are concerned about the prospects of exploration and drilling.
