It will take at least two years before the railroad network is restored in Thessaly, the central Greek region that suffered immense destruction after storm flooding this year, Deputy Infrastructure and Transport Minister Nikos Tachiaos said in Parliament on Monday.
Responding to a question by Greek Solution Deputy Vassilios Viliardos, the minister said, “We are talking about a full restoration/reconstruction of the power line, and the full reassembly of all systems from the beginning.” As Tachiaos explained, “there is no chance for this restoration to be done by the end of 2024. This restoration must conclude by the end of 2025. Essentially, it needs nearly two years to restore it to its full extent.”
Asked if the Greek state has been sued by anyone, he said there is no such legal action. According to the law, it pertains to a natural disaster, he said, which at this point does not support court claims for compensation.
