Residents of Achlada, Greece, are protesting the dangerous conditions on the Achlada-Meliti road, heavily trafficked by trucks transporting lignite at high speeds. The protests coincide with concerns over the potential closure of the Meliti power station, which could lead to job losses and community decline. Community leader Vasilis Dotonos emphasized the need for reduced truck traffic and better safety measures, citing recent accidents, albeit non-fatal. Local workers are also rallying against the closure of the power station as it threatens their livelihoods.
