Threats from SYRIZA-PASOK to block hydrocarbons

his way Syriza to hydrocarbons One of the most characteristic of his foreign policy.

the 2015announced that he would stop investigations and Tenders will be re-announced With a Venezuelan model. When he became the government, he signed many contracts, both those for Crete where he does research Exxon Mobilas well as Ionian and Cyparissia.

Today, he is returning to the old methods and declaring that he will not grant new exploration permits. Existing ones will not be renewedtrying to hunt votes from on his left and an aerospace that has been trying to undermine hydrocarbon research for years now.

his last remarks Head of Energy and SYRIZA Member of Parliament Socrates Familo Ann SYRIZA government will not renew research permits, They simply assert the conclusion that the economic policy of the official opposition has nothing to do with reality.

«SYRIZA understands the debate over hydrocarbons and natural gas as a discussion about the past, not the future. This is why we say that the Syriza government will not issue new licenses for hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation, and existing licenses that have completed the exploration period will not be renewed.said the CEO of SYRIZA at the recent Power & Gas Forum conference.

What licenses does Mr. Familus mean? That second phase when concession exploitation moves from seismic drilling to exploratory drilling? What if company. For example Exxon Mobil in Crete And do you judge who has evidence that it is obligatory to proceed with digging? Will Syriza stop him?

Let’s take a more advanced case, that of a company that has already prospected and discovered an exploitable deposit. What does familo statement mean? what not Will it be allowed to mine it and start production? Will he ask her to leave? sta courts Which country could stand such a thing? Maybe in Peter Pan land. In the real world we live in, no.

Such exaggerations and simplistic approaches to reality do not come from the KKE or any of its parties left outside Parliament. These unfounded words, as well as many similar opinions expressed recently in the public debate, come from Syriza officials, and the explanation may be that the party is simply looking to its left, a good-looking percentage that will maintain its standing the next day. .

PASOK competes with SYRIZA

The interesting thing is that in this contest of unrealistic statements without the slightest filter, the PASOK competes with SYRIZA. Even if he was the author of the law, on the basis of which even today research on hydrocarbons is carried out in Greece, that is, the well-known Maniatis law.

This is exactly what is happening at the local level. Just look at what’s going on these days Zita is from Ioannina Prefecture where in depth 3.5 kilometers is expected to take place from Energen Corporation I after 22 years Research excavations in Epirus and the seventeenth in the history of the region.

However, in the local bodies of the Ioannina region and the municipality of Zice, SYRIZA and PASOK are vying to see which one will vote against the most anti-drilling decisions. In the Regional Council of Epirus, as well as in the Municipal Council of Zitsa, negative opinions Against the pits they testified equally PASOK candidate for Ioannina and Speaker of the House of Representatives Demetris DemetriouBeside Basok Provincial Secretary.

Basuk seems to be jealous of Syriza. Who has 2019 reached this point not vote as opposition in parliament, Exactly the same conventions which he signed and supported as government in the local communities. Because the specific contracts for research and development in the field of hydrocarbons in Ioannina were signed in 2014 by the former Minister of Environment and Energy and the former PASOK MP Yannis Maniatis.

The two opposing parties pursue this opposite policy, with Mr. Familos saying that Syriza sees the hydrocarbons and natural gas debate as one about the past rather than the future.

In other words, ignore what the RES players themselves admit are on their way to complete decarbonisation 2050And The first is the transition fuel, natural gas.

Venezuelan model

The time is now for Syriza to try on a false environmental mantle, to distance themselves from fossil fuels (They were once the biggest fan of lignite) and hydrocarbons, for which 2017 The government at the time was promoting it The famous Venezuelan model. A scheme in which the state participates directly in the extraction and circulation of oil.

It is the model that moved in the direction of the state It will even claim the role of major shareholder in hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation in joint ventures. This formula has not been applied in Western Europe and the United States of America, except for countries with decades of proven deposits and long experience in oil extraction. Such as Norway, India, China, African and Latin American countries, such as Venezuela through the state company PDVSA.
