Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Tuesday attended an event presenting the works for restoring the damage from the destructive 2023 storms 'Daniel' and 'Elias' at the Mouzaki Municipal Cinema Theatre. In a speech, he thanked the regional and municipal local authorities and all residents of Thessaly for their patience, stoicism and their determination to repair the "great destruction we all experienced", CE Report quotes Athens-Macedonian
Mitsotakis stressed the importance of the restoration work, particularly highlighting its great cost: "The overall restoration of the damage done by 'Daniel' and 'Elias' will exceed three billion euros. Of this, 1.4 billion is only for road and rail infrastructure, and for the restoration of our schools. And I also want to stress that the effort that was made followed one central rule: that no citizen of Thessaly, no matter how geographically isolated they might be, should feel deprived of the care of the central state. This was why we did not, at any time, take technocratic cost-benefit approaches into account."
