Outside the site where the asphalt plant is being built, and a few meters away from the excavators working feverishly, Andreas Papanastasiou, the community leader of Mitsero, decided to set up his “office,” as a sign of protest against the Supreme Court’s rejection of the request by residents of the surrounding communities to suspend construction work.
Under an awning, with a table and four chairs, Mr. Papanastasiou serves the needs of the residents of Mitsero, with a banner at the forefront that reads “Don’t kill our children’s future.”
