"We had 75% of demand to be produced from Greek lignite and now we're saying that we will have 20 to 25 with units that are very modern and which I repeat will contain all pollutants, whether they are air pollutants or pollutants that are considered industrial pollutants and therefore subject to emissions controls.

"The central management, the government and the state did not take care of things. You should be looking for alternative solutions before doing something else. If you have a business that you want to shut, you take care of what you will do later. Here, first we shut things down and then we think about what to do. We didn't think in advance that the area could offer itself to other things, agriculture, investments, new factories, tax cuts to attract investors, etc. It was not officially done by the state "
