Because Thrace needs zeolite to bring about change and open up real prospects for the future. We have absolutely no need for \u2018colourful\u2019 MPs who have no idea what\u2019s going on and haven\u2019t even been briefed on zeolite because they\u2019re so busy maintaining good neighbourly relations. Having lackeys at local level doesn\u2019t bother us, as it has always been that way throughout our history. It\u2019s just good to know that they\u2019re incapable of helping our country. Thus, the excuses they come up with are always ridiculous, because they are not based on knowledge, but solely on political expediency, underpinned, of course, by ignorance. Thrace\u2019s zeolite is a source of life for all Thracians and, by extension, for all Greeks in the long run. We cannot possibly pay any heed to various charlatans of the \u2018according to Luke\u2019 variety who think they can influence a matter of national importance. Because Thracian zeolite is a national issue, just as the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is. And we are delighted that the licensing procedures are moving forward and that Greek companies are interested in exploiting it. The Region has given its approval, as have the municipalities directly affected by the deposit sites. They are carrying out vital work, both for their own communities and for all Greeks. Let us therefore move on to the final phase so that we may finally see Thrace\u2019s zeolite helping our people and our country in a practical way.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/lygeros.org\/articles?n=18134&amp;l=gr\">http:\/\/lygeros.org\/articles?n=18134&amp;l=gr<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thrace\u2019s zeolite is not a political issue.
