Mayor of Volos Sues Regional Governor Over Fish Deaths Incident
Achilleas Mpios, the Mayor of Volos, has filed a lawsuit against Dimitris Koureta, the Regional Governor of Thessaly, seeking €50,000 in damages. The lawsuit stems from Koureta’s announcement regarding the dead fish found in Pagasitikos Gulf, allegedly linked to Lake Karla. This legal battle follows Koureta’s own complaint against Mpios for defamation, threatening remarks, and public insults made during a press conference. The continuing disputes reveal tension over environmental issues in the region, raising concerns about public order and local governance.
