In a social media post today, PASOK MEP Nikolas Farantouris once again raised questions with the Commission and the Greek government:
“Where is the European money for our fishermen going? ‘Blue pufferfish’ gobbled up €52 million between 2021 and 2026, which was intended for fishing boats, nets, longlines and fishing equipment for our Greek fishermen. Where did it go? To massage parlours, cafés, snack bars, luxury restaurants and hotels, and hair salons,” he said.
He went on:
“I have submitted a question to the European Commission, asking to be told once and for all where the fisheries policy funds are going, and I am seeking explanations from the Greek government. Enough is enough: the plundering of public money must stop.”.
