For a phenomenon that has been going on for 30 years, he spoke in a telephone conversation with the OPEN, the Mayor of Skopelos, Stamatis Perissis. «It is not possible every time it snows, to break tree branches and fall on the lines and these trees are still there», protested Mr. Perissis, who informed the journalists of the show “Hour of Greece”, Akis Pavlopoulos and Dora Koutrokoi, that tThe island has been without power since Sunday afternoon, 14/02, and will remain in darkness until Monday afternoon, 15/02, according to his information.
«This line must be cleaned (from the trees), because every time it is windy or snowing, the trees fall on it, resulting in 3 islands (Skopelos, Skiathos, Alonissos) being left without electricity». Surprised the journalists of the station, heard then Mr. Perissi, to answer their question, «why has not been done this until today (ie. to clean the line from the trees), saying that for the responsible people is considered «a big project»!
The authorities are therefore called upon to find a solution to a problem that is very big, regardless of whether they consider the task of solving it to be big as well. Because it is unacceptable for 3 islands to be left without electricity, with shortages of basic goods and even water, every time it blows or there is a little extra snow.
