«Greece on the US CDC blacklist. Another “success” of the Mitsotakis government“

For unprecedented sloppiness, amateurism and the regressions of the Mitsotakis government in the field of tourism policy, says the head of the tourism sector of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance Katerina Notopoulou.

«The incompetence of Mitsotakis“ ”executive government" has surpassed all imagination, with one “slap” after another for Greek tourism, in the heart of this season», it stresses in a statement.

«The unprecedented sloppiness, amateurism and regressions in the field of tourism policy have officially taken Greece off the list, as the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) ranked our country in “Level 4”. That is, at the level of completely insolvent and inefficient states as regards the management of pandemic, strongly recommending that American citizens should not travel to Greece», he notes.

«In the end, the “success” of this summer has evaporated at the moment when the country loses strategic markets due to the complete lack of a plan, but also the proverbial inefficiency of the responsible for extensive testing, reliable tracing and limiting the spread of the virus» continues the head of the Tourism Department of SYRIZA-P.S..

«There is someone Responsible on how we are one step away from closing down tourism again?» asks Katerina Notopoulou. And concludes: «Now, as one door closes behind the other, we expect from the responsible minister to inform us what action it intends to take in order to save what is possible from this season, before demolishing the country's entire tourist legacy».
