AKEL commemorates the memory of the thirteen men of the National Guard, Fire Brigade and the disaster response unit EMAK, who lost their lives in the line of duty during the deadly explosion, exactly 10 years ago, at the “Evangelos Florakis” naval base.
Such tragedies remind us of the responsibility of the State, in a structured and coordinated manner, to ensure the readiness of the state apparatus and security bodies, with the aim of protecting human life, the environment and citizen’s safety. We have a responsibility to ensure that such tragedies will not be repeated.
