The Florina Municipal Council unanimously passed a resolution on November 5, expressing solidarity with Meliti residents and power plant workers facing job losses due to the plant’s impending closure at year-end. The council warns that this closure will exacerbate the region’s challenges during lignite phase-out, leading to significant job losses and negatively impacting local businesses tied to lignite production. They demand that the power stations and mines remain operational with environmental upgrades, ensuring job security for both permanent and temporary staff.
