Calls for Action in Greece After Tragic Death of Firefighter
The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) expressed deep condolences following the death of 55-year-old firefighter Paschalis Dikousis in Lagkadas, marking the third firefighting fatality in a month. The party criticized the government for its lack of adequate measures regarding the health and safety of firefighters, citing age-related exhaustion and insufficient support as key issues. The KKE urged immediate government action, emphasizing that firefighters face overwhelming pressure during fire seasons without essential legal protections or health checks. The announcement highlighted the need for collective efforts to fight against policies deemed harmful to firefighters’ lives.
