Hopes to be Disproved

The new Minister of Justice, Konstantinos Fytiris, has prioritized the construction of new prisons. However, doubts are expressed regarding the timeline he has set, predicting the completion of the projects in 4-5 years. Based on experience from previous large public works projects, it is estimated that implementation will require more time, possibly a decade. The delay is due to various factors, such as bureaucratic procedures, potential appeals against decisions, and reactions from local communities. Despite the minister's optimism, experience has shown that public works projects in Greece often face significant delays. The need for new prisons is established, but the implementation of the project is expected to be difficult and time-consuming.
