΄Ekkinisi΄ supports the Waste Watch Corfu event

The local party led by Lefteris Markatis issued the following statement:

Ekkinisi supports the event being organised by Waste Watch Corfu on Saturday 19 October with international speakers who will be presenting interesting ideas regarding waste management - internationally and locally.

Our party made its position on waste management clear before the elections. Our position is quite clear - we believe the only real solution is reducing waste and sorting at source so that a large proportion can be recycled and the amount going to the landfill can be reduced - even to zero. On this basis, we consider the event being organised on Saturday to be a positive initiative.

We know that Temploni Cultural Society has requested from SYDISA that the international speakers coming for the event pay a visit to the Temploni landfill on Saturday morning in order to see the local situation at first-hand. We have also requested that we have a representative present at the visit.
