Greece has strongly condemned the actions of "arsonist scum" after the police apprehended 79 individuals suspected of arson in connection with the devastating wildfires sweeping the country. Vassilis Kikilias, the Civil Protection Minister, revealed that there have been multiple attempts by arsonists to ignite fresh fires on Mount Parnitha, located northwest of Athens. The nation is currently grappling with hundreds of wildfires that have tragically claimed the lives of at least 20 people this week.
The Police and Greek intelligence service EYP are currently investigating the incidents. Pavlos Marinakis, the government spokesperson, stated that out of the 140 arrests made in connection with the wildfires, 79 were related to arson. The wildfires have been raging across Greece, with a particularly large fire front near Alexandroupolis becoming the largest on record in the EU. Fires on Mount Parnitha near Athens have also been threatening a national park. Tragically, the bodies of 19 people believed to be migrants, including children, were found in the Evros region earlier this week.
Additionally, a shepherd lost his life in the fires in the Boeotia region on Monday. The country is experiencing its worst summer for wildfires since fire-risk maps were introduced in 2009. Last month, thousands of people had to evacuate due to wildfires on the island of Rhodes and other parts of Greece.
Mr Kikilias said on Wednesday the country was going through the worst summer since fire-risk maps were introduced in 2009.
Just last month, thousands of people were forced to flee fires on the Greek island of Rhodes after wildfires broke out there and in other parts of the country.
Convict them then hang them. Simple.
“Global Warming Causes People to Commit Arson”
are they of the Turkish persuasion, maybe a little jihad action.
How the heck did they even find them? May they receive the worst possible punishment.
Climate Crisis are the new words for arsonist scum
Someone on actually suggested that on a thread once, and I was trying to figure out if they were sarcastic or they thought they were serious. Well global warming is a factor in the sense that all the lurid wildfire coverage on TV to convince everyone the world is boiling in CO2 has probably inspired many pyrophiliacs to set wildfires to see their own on TV. Not saying there aren't fires set by professionals, of course.
Instead of gluing themselves to a work of art or a road............they killed people.
I’m getting to the point that the execution should be the same as the death you caused..
It’s the only way to stop it.
“How the heck did they even find them?”
Maybe they used the old Mississippi system: round up the first 79 Turks you can find, because they’re ALL guilty of SOMETHING!
You win todays prize!
None of which seem to have names...
More like there is evidence of arson so pin it on migrants rather than who really stands to gain from setting the world on fire.
Not that migrants are innocent or shouldn’t be deported.
🤣🤣🤣
Not that WE know of. I'm sure their fellow, affected, Greeks will find out soon enough.
Are you sure Greeks are their fellows?
Chum the ocean waters then slingshot them in the middle of it.
