The leader of the official opposition in the Attica Regional Council, Yannis Sgouros, made the following statement regarding the ferry issue in Kythira:
«Following the collision of the Aqua Jewel ferry with the pier at Diakofto, Kythira, and the subsequent suspension of its services, Kythira and Antikythira have been cut off from the ports of call and from mainland Greece.
It is imperative that the ship be replaced immediately with another.
The Ministry must immediately ensure ferry connections to Kythira and Antikythira until the problem that has arisen is definitively resolved, so that the islands can be fully resupplied.
