Kos eyes referendum on issue of hotspot
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The city council of the island of Kos decided late Monday to hold a referendum in order to query local residents' opinion on the construction of a refugee / migrant "hotspot" on the Dodecanese island.
During a council meeting, Kos Mayor Giorgos Kyritsis stated: "Provided that the government's officials and elected MPs believe that a majority of the population supports the construction of a hotspot, I gave orders to the municipality's general director to examine the procedures so that a local referendum is held, allowing citizens to decide."
According to reports, some 7,000 local residents have signed a petition against the construction of such a center on the island.
