Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
“Something is rotten in the state of Denmark”
The fact is that we have known about this issue for some time; it is nothing new. The amendment is substantial, which is why a new consultation is being launched. It mainly concerns the “relocation” of the offshore project about 1 km further south, to a new independent “Omega” platform much closer to Thasos. You can read the details in the document from the Kavala Initiative below.
Personally, I find the joke elsewhere, which is why I satirized it. The dates they set are laughable. Right in the middle of the holidays. The principle is simple. It is the well-known method of “strategic knowledge obfuscation” often used in administrative communication processes. Thus, you use the most effective weapon ever invented by a bureaucrat: information. Not a little—no, that would be ineffective—but so much that even a quantum supercomputer would suffer burnout.
The best thing to do is to choose dates such as December 23 to January 6, when recipients are busy with their last-minute Christmas shopping. Force them to suddenly face an overwhelming avalanche of information that ultimately pushes them to do nothing, because the sheer volume of material simply cancels out any possibility of productive action. This creates a state of paralysis due to information overload just before the holidays. In the end, when the opposing side returns to its daily routine on January 7, desperate and exhausted from the holidays, the sender has triumphantly achieved strategic control of the holidays through information overload.

What the Thasos Coordinating Committee has done to date
What has the Thasos Coordinating Committee done to date?

The Thasos Coordination Committee has emerged as a key and decisive factor in the institutional and social struggle against the planned installation of carbon dioxide storage projects. With consistency and a high level of documentation, the Coordinating Committee has become an important body for coordinating and expressing collective objections, contributing substantially to the formation of a strong and clear framework of resistance. The Thasos Coordination Committee has established itself in the minds of the residents of Thasos and the wider region as a recognizable and reliable “trademark” of the struggle against CCS. Its name and identity have been consistently associated with consistency, responsibility, and a high level of documentation. This makes it necessary to protect the group’s identity, as there are increasingly frequent attempts by third parties to appropriate its name. Of course, in recent weeks, with the help of other groups, we have carved out a pan-Asian line of unity for the movement.
Here is a brief overview of our actions!
