Statement from MeRA25 Press Representative, Eric Miltiadis Edman
As we mourn the dead of railway privatization, Mitsotakis SA. Relentlessly continue the same criminal policies in the waters
As we face the tragic consequences of railway privatization, New Democracy has not only learned nothing from the state of the OSE and the disgraceful profit from energy exchange, but has submitted to Parliament a multi-broom bill paving the way for water privatization.
Since 2020, MeRA25 has denounced attempts to privatize water, which were made on the basis of memorandum indications that the country has been plundering for more than a decade. Nowhere in the world has water privatization been profitable: in the UK they lose 3 billion liters of water per day, and in the US the case of Flint residents being poisoned by mismanagement of the private water system is global. -famous, while in Bucharest the water bill has quadrupled.
Water and the infrastructure for its supply must remain public. Public services and wealth are not fragmented in order to run them more efficiently, but to enrich the local and international oligarchy, while the real cost of administration will continue to burden the taxpayer. If we don’t learn now that privatization is destructive, when will we?
