pool

Sources of the Ministry of Culture informed that on Monday, August 19, an inspection was carried out by a team of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Piraeus and Islands at the country house of Stefanos Kasselakis in Spetses.

As it became known, an echelon of the competent Service went to the house of the President of SYRIZA and proceeded to an autopsy of the place.

The engineer showed the inspectors a permit from 1978, which had been given for the construction of a septic tank, i.e. a cesspool. The engineer claimed that what is seen today as a swimming pool is the septic tank.

According to Ministry sources, the 1978 license cannot be valid almost 50 years later. On the contrary, as pointed out, the institutional framework for Spetses has been completely revised in recent years.

The state body is set to continue the audit which is ongoing and has not yet been completed.

With septic tank permiti.e. a cesspool, since 1978 the swimming pool was built at the holiday home of Stefanos Kasselakis in Spetses, as sources from the Ministry of Culture reported on Tuesday. It was preceded by an autopsy and inspection by a competent agency at the residence of the president of SYRIZA in order to investigate possible irregularities in the conversion.

SYRIZA issued a statement on what the YPPO communicated and confirmed that the original design of the reservoir is 50 years old, but at the same time spoke of “coal as the treasure”. He also attacked Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis himself, claiming that he is targeting Stefanos Kasselakis as part of his propaganda.

SYRIZA for the Kasselaki pool: “Coal the treasure”

In the vitriolic statement shared by Koumoundourou, the following were pointed out: “The inspection carried out yesterday at the residence of Stefanos Kasselakis in Spetses by a team of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Piraeus and the Islands did not detect any illegality from an archaeological point of view, as the dimensions of the “swimming pool » are completely identical to the plans submitted to the Archaeological Service in 1978.

In other words, despite the noise created, “coal is the treasure”.

It is certainly understandable that “the control continues” and that the “sources” of the Ministry of Culture have received an order from above to maintain in the public a matter that was made up from the beginning. Much more likely, since the result of yesterday’s autopsy did not satisfy the “sources” of the government.

After all, it is known to everyone who is the one and only authentic “source” of the now daily toxicity operation in the political life of the country: Kyriakos Mitsotakis. If you consider how much mud and slander he spewed on his way from 41% to 28%, you realize what is going to happen now that the decline is accelerating leading to the complete political discredit of his government.

“Let them find something else to hit the President of SYRIZA”

In any case:

1) We welcome the speed of the Ministry of Culture. If the “staff” state had shown similar speed in dealing with disasters, Attica would have been saved. Also, we hope that Ms. Mendoni has shown similar zeal and has sent the Archaeological Service for an autopsy to the house of her adviser, Ms. Panagiotarea, in Plaka.

2) The finding that there is no archaeological illegality irreparably exposes the government, Pavlos Marinakis, the MPs and all ND officials who rushed to uncritically adopt the (as it turns out) subliminal publication of the First Topic. Let them find something else to hit the President of SYRIZA, St. Kasselakis.

3) It is not only unprecedented but also dangerous the reference of the “sources” of the Ministry of Culture that the 1978 license “cannot be valid”. This particular reference, apart from having no basis in the law and creating legal uncertainty for citizens, it also shows how the government thinks and works: if reality doesn’t satisfy it, reality has the problem.

PS Let Kyriakos Mitsotakis therefore stop targeting his political opponent. The booty state, its administrative inadequacy and its well-crafted propaganda, have made the political life of the country… a septic tank.

Ministry of Culture for the Kasselakis pool: Let’s not rush SYRIZA, the conversion requires permission

The Ministry of Culture set aside the circles and the sources, also issuing a statement, which did not lack the insinuations of irregularities of an archaeological nature.

In it, it is stated in its entirety: It is clear that the Press Office of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance is either unable to understand what “illegality from an archaeological point of view” means, or is deliberately hiding it, in its attempt to mislead public opinion.

According to the existing institutional framework and jurisprudence, there is an archaeological illegality, when a swimming pool is built within the protected by archaeological legislation – thus also the Ministry of Culture – settlement of Spetses, where the house of the President of Mr. St. Kasselakis.

The 1978 license cited by SYRIZA does not concern a swimming pool, but a septic tank, i.e. a cesspool. The conversion of the septic tank into a swimming pool, in 2024, apparently requires a permit from the relevant services of the Ministry of Culture.

Given the permission of the YPPO, a permit is subsequently issued by the Town Planning Department.

The autopsy report, which SYRIZA invokes, has not yet been hierarchically submitted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, while the audit is still ongoing. Let them not rush. Let them wait for the decision of the competent public services.
