Civil Protection General Secretary Tafyllis resigns

General Secretary for Civil Protection Yiannis Tafyllis on Wednesday handed in his resignation to Citizen Protection Minister Michalis Chrisochoidis.

Tafyllis assumed office after the disastrous fire in Mati with a mission to set up and prepare legislation establishing a National Civil Protection Agency. The process was completed but the draft law, which went through a period of public consultation, was not voted on in parliament due to the early elections.
