The wildfires sweeping through Greece at this moment have been set ablaze by deliberate acts of arson, not the vague notion of climate change, as indicated by reports from the BBC.
A total of 79 individuals have been apprehended in connection with arson activities related to these so-called “wildfires.” These incidents cease to be wild when they’re sparked intentionally by individuals. The Greek government, in no uncertain terms, has labeled these perpetrators as “arsonist scum,” confirming that criminal intent is at the root of this devastation.
Vassilis Kikilias, the Minister of Civil Protection, has disclosed that recent efforts by arsonists to initiate fresh fires on Mount Parnitha, situated to the northwest of Athens, have been thwarted.
Across Greece, a multitude of fires are blazing, with the death toll currently standing at a harrowing 20 individuals.
During an emergency broadcast addressing the fires, Kikilias sternly addressed the culprits, stating, “You are committing a crime against the country. Arsonist scum are setting fires that threaten forests, property, and, most importantly, human lives.”
He added, “You will not evade justice. We will uncover you. You will be held accountable.”
While summer wildfires are an expected occurrence in Greece’s hot and arid climate, there has been an uptick in such incidents lately. The left-leaning media, however, is quick to point fingers at global warming and climate change, conveniently ignoring the confessions from the Greek government regarding arson’s role in these fires.
Even as the government has revealed that a staggering 140 arrests have been made in connection with wildfires, with 79 directly tied to arson, some continue to peddle theories blaming meat consumption or vehicle usage. Yet, the glaring truth remains that crime is often at the root of disasters, much like this one.
Tragically, the majority of casualties associated with these fires are migrants from other nations, including children. The remains of 19 individuals were discovered in the Evros region of northeastern Greece, with the 20th fatality being a shepherd who succumbed to the fires in the Boeotia region.
Kikilias underscored that Greece is grappling with the worst summer fire season since the introduction of the nation’s fire risk maps in 2009. Despite the media’s climate change narrative, it’s evident that arson, not climatic conditions, is responsible for these catastrophic blazes.
On the island of Rhodes, wildfires forced thousands to evacuate to safer regions within the country. As one observer aptly put it, “While these fires seem to be breaking out simultaneously worldwide – in Hawaii, Louisiana, and Greece – there’s more to this story. It’s concerning that certain groups might be orchestrating these incidents to disrupt peace.”
In a world wrought with complexities, it’s imperative to peel back the layers of deception and seek out the underlying truths.
