Behind the scenes – Alafouzos's fury over the foul odor and the attack on the government regarding a specific shipowner

Kathimerini newspaper's attack on the government regarding the foul odor from gas in the southern suburbs does not seem to concern state inadequacy alone. Behind the high tones and references to a "third-world state," a broader business conflict is discernible, with clear innuendos aimed at a specific business center allegedly related to the natural gas leak. Specifically, a shipowner who is also involved in the energy sector operations… The newspaper, indirectly but clearly, implies that the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis is attempting to cover up the real dimension of the case, avoiding the assignment of blame and keeping the issue low-profile in order to protect powerful corporate business interests.
