Criticism of the opposition leader to the Mayor of Komotini
After the meeting on Monday, March 13, the main opposition leader, Gravanis, criticized Garanis, the mayor of Komotini.
In the press release published by the main opposition “Joint Vision”, "It was not the activity report announced by the Mayor of Komotini Garanis at the council meeting, but a clear admission of his failure in his duty." statements were included.
In the press release, the leader of the main opposition said, "Mr. Garanis's annual report on his duty as municipality reveals once again the fact that we have known and emphasized for three years as a list. How does the Mayor of Komotini manage the Municipality with carelessness, indifference and most of all, inconclusively?" posed the question.
Expressing that the Mayor Garanis was afraid to share with the public what should be known while describing the actions, the head of the opposition included the following statements in his press release:
“- He implemented only a small part of the technical program of the Municipality of Komotini and did not specify a complete project.
- It is his responsibility to keep the swimming pool closed; campsites closed, open spaces closed, and destroy all municipal property and municipal land.
- He did not take any initiative for social services for citizens.
- Garbage bins in Komotini center continue to pollute the commercial and historical areas of the city. Citizens' protests and reactions on this issue are ignored. The situation in the neighborhoods is even worse.
- He spent millions of euros of the citizens on the streets without any results. Komotini has become a city where people can no longer move freely and countless animals live in the streets without care and hunger.
- All green areas and parks open to the public are neglected. The situation is dire. No landscaping, no aesthetics.
- The neighborhood and streets are dark. Playgrounds are insufficient, existing ones are neglected.
- He does not know that the elderly living in the villages are suffering from financial difficulties. At a time when young people are struggling for a better life, he brags about clearing the cobwebs in basketball hoops and changing water heaters.
- An outdated plan is being implemented in culture and tourism. Investments are made in areas that have little to do with serving the culture, and large sums of money are wasted.
- Settlements are abandoned to their own fate. Farmers are suffering.
-Leave aside the projects and investments that will support agriculture, there is a mayor who is incapable of repairing the existing ones. No work is being done on any measures for drinking and irrigation water.
- He is the only mayor in the country to owe school electricity bills, and during his tenure, electricity was cut in some schools due to debts.
- Failed to meet the needs of schools.
Neighboring cities are developing, strong mayors are preparing their cities for the future. The Municipality of Komotini is struggling with inefficiency, incompetence and indifference.
The excuse for failure is ready. The only culprits for this are insensitive citizens and the government.
The only and principal responsible for the prevailing situation in the city and in the settlements is the mayor.”
