Panic after the first autumn rain – they forgot to clean the storm drains


True to doctrine weather terror and climate “crisis” The government has once again sowed panic over a simple autumn shower, issuing dozens of 112 calls and panicky media reports in which lightning strikes are counted one after another.

No, this isn't some third world country. This is Athens' Ampelokipi, the famous lake on Achaia Street near Kifissia Avenue that has formed every time it rains like this since 2014.


Climate 'crisis' and civil protection minister Vassilis Kikilias has once again played his usual role as a gloomy forecaster of Cyclone Athena, saying (yesterday) that “based on the extensive briefing by the risk assessment committee and in accordance with the EMF bulletin, “From this evening and over the next few days, many parts of the country will experience dangerous weather conditions,” adding that “this is not summer instability, but autumn weather.”

“In practice, this means that the bad weather will last longer, so local flooding cannot be ruled out,” says Kikilias, ignoring, of course, that It's not the climate “crisis” that's to blame these “floods” of a local or supra-local nature, but the elementary carelessness of local authorities, who should have taken care of preparations for the fall in advance by cleaning storm drains and storm sewers.

It is now clear that climate change has clogged all the manholes in the central streets of Athens, which under normal climatic conditions should have cleared up on their own…

In 8 minutes of rain Mesogeion and Katehaki! The problem is not the rain and not the delirium about climate change, but the incompetence of those who govern us! And in Greece, a long-term rain of incompetence “poured” so that we could see these images!


When did it happen last year? flood in Thessalyexperts recalled that They have been warning about this danger for many years. And opposition media recalled that the company TERNA, which is run by Kyriakos Mitsotakis' best friend, “successfully mastered the money” for flood prevention work, but for some reason it didn't help. The topic was quickly hushed up, but questions still remained…
