Building a factory in Chaironeia
The Central Archaeological Council of Greece (KAS) with the majority of votes cast in favour, reversed its last decision and allowed ENELCO’s large energy production unit to be built near Chaironeia’s archaeological site (the historic battlefield – a listed monument), converting it into an industrial zone.
Even though local communities of Boeotoia -under several schemata- acted swiftly and opposed the “imminent desecration of the site” a number of “exasperated citizens” demonstrated in favour of the new factory, commenting on the ‘development’ to be brought upon the area.
According to the majority of the citizens, the factory will have devastating consequences for the area environmentally and if 
built, it will be a negative precedent for the creation of other similar units.
