Fotis Poulos, president of the Kavala Fuel Retailers Association, called on the government to take decisive steps to meaningfully ease the burden of heating oil costs on households. Speaking on local ERT radio, Poulos dismissed recent policy announcements, suggesting that the proposed subsidies of 120 to 150 euros are insufficient to resolve what he characterized as a systemic problem. He stressed that piecemeal measures will not deliver the substantial relief that families in the region need as they face higher energy expenses. The remarks underscore growing pressure on authorities to implement more comprehensive solutions to the heating fuel affordability crisis affecting local communities.
