❗ On Sunday, 8 November 2026, Cultterra joined hundreds of residents and local collectives at KRONOS in a protest against the decision of the Elefsina Port Authority (OLE) to allocate 14,600 m² of waterfront land to HEC, for the development of a port facility for the management of oily waste.

🤔 Elefsina has already endured decades of environmental pressure from industrial activity. Its waterfront, an area of significant historical and cultural importance, cannot be treated as yet another piece of land available for exploitation.

The struggle for KRONOS is a struggle for residents' right to access the sea, protect their environment, and shape the future of their own city.

💭 For us, taking part in such mobilisations is directly connected to what Cultterra stands for: a vibrant and accessible city where people actively participate in shaping public space.

As a younger generation, we don't want to passively watch decisions being made about our future. We want to be part of the decisions that affect our lives and the place we call home.

Because Elefsina is more than its industrial history. It is its people, its memories, its sea, and everything we can still create here.

Our presence was another step. The struggle continues.

NO TO THE NEW PORT FACILITY FOR OILY WASTE AT KRONOS.

THE SEA IS NOT A PRIVATE PRIVILEGE.
