A significant event held at the Cultural Center of Workers and Pensioners in Larissa focused on creating a united front against forced mergers of water utilities and privatization efforts. Leaders emphasized the need to protect water as a public good, rejecting any sale or shareholding of essential resources. Key figures included George Ladas, president of the Cultural Center, and Achilleas Mitrakos, president of the D.E.Y.A.L. Workers’ Association, who highlighted the potential negative impacts of the proposed integration of water services.
