Εxpropriation

In Western Macedonia, an area of over 200 acres is home to the lignite mines owned by the Public Power corporation (DEH). These mines supply DEH’s turbo-generators with Greece’s “national fuel.” So far, more than 3,000 people have been thrown out of their houses, and soon another 10,000 will follow. The official response of DEH is that it has no choice, if the Greek economy is to continue to be supplied with electric power. According to the law, DEH has to continue to provide electricity, a common good, to all Greeks, in order to insure development and prosperity.
