Alexis Tsipras mentioned that he met with parents who lost their children in traffic accidents at the VOAK and said that 23 people had been killed at the same spot. He described Crete as "the most blood-stained island in Europe." He wrote that the works on the road had stopped for months and that, just outside of Heraklion, only the bollards remained to remind people. He added that the airport was almost shut down for charter flights, with many delays, while the VOAK was causing distress to residents and visitors and, as he said, was becoming dangerous and costing human lives. #ΒΟΑΚ #τροχαία #Κρήτη (translated)
