PADOP GREETINGS TO PEACE BOAT
Athens, November 15, 2024
Dear Peace Boat Co-fighters,
As your close associate in Greece, we are very happy for your active contribution to the current UN Climate Change Conference in Baku.
Greece is a country which has suffered greatly the consequences of what we call climate crisis, which is great threat for the Mediterranean as a whole. That is why we have demanded from the Greek government to support actively the relevant UN agenda and work for upgrading the Mediterranean Action Plan, known also as Blue Plan for the protection of the environment in this crucial world crossroads.
Naturally, the end of the climate crisis is closely connected with the protection of peace, which in the Mediterranean and the Middle East is subject to ending the genocide in Gaza and achieving peace with justice in Palestine. Unfortunately, the European Union, as well as other international big actors, do too little for ending current wars, both in the Middle East and Ukraine.
Therefore, speeches in Baku for sustainable development and environmentally protected future for humanity convince nobody of sincerity and true commitment. This applies also to the speech delivered by our neoliberal conservative prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Best Regards,
Panos Trigazis
PADOP President
