May 15, 2025
Construction work at Moni-Vasiliko has been halted due to legal proceedings aimed at protecting the Mediterranean monk seal. The contractor is seeking damages of €60,000 per day for each day of delay, as the project has been on hold for over a month. The consequences of the court ruling are expected to cost the government hundreds of thousands of euros, with significant expenses for infrastructure and workers. The village chief opposes the project, emphasizing environmental protection.
