Stop to the ecological crime in Milos: Construction halted, Transparency Authority intervenes under Papastavrou’s orders

Three actions by the Minister of Environment aim to put a stop to the construction works for the expansion of the White Coast in Mytakas, Milos

“We have appealed to the Council of State, to ministries, we asked for the intervention of the Transparency Authority—no one is doing anything,” says the mayor of Milos about the new environmental crime

Work on the expansion of the tourist complex, 2 kilometers from Sarakiniko, is progressing intensively. Manolis Mikellis appealed to the Council of State with interim measures to revoke the hotel’s permit, but because the Council is relocating, the opinion is delayed
