Mazotos residents plan second protest over mobile desalination unit
Mazotos residents will protest on August 29 against plans for a mobile desalination unit in the Petounta area.
Mazotos, Cyprus. Residents will hold a second protest against plans for a mobile desalination unit in the Petounta area, the Initiative Group for the Rescue of the Mazotos Coast announced.
The protest is scheduled for Saturday, August 29, at 6pm in the community square near the Church of Agios Georgios.
Environmental concerns
The organisers said the planned unit is a heavy industrial installation that could cause significant and irreversible damage to the land and marine environment.
They said the project threatens the area’s ecological balance, degrades the natural landscape and directly affects residents’ quality of life. The group is calling for the government’s decision to be reversed.
Residents also cited the presence of extensive posidonia meadows on the seabed, saying both the land and sea environment would be affected.
Legal action
The planned demonstration will be the second protest by Mazotos residents over the mobile desalination unit.
The community has also taken legal action against the Council of Ministers’ decision and is seeking a suspension order to halt the works.
