Deep rift in the administration of Komotini Municipality: Deputy Mayor of Public Works dismissed via email
A serious rift has emerged within the administration of Komotini Municipality, specifically within the Citizen’s Society faction, as tensions rise between Mayor Ioannis Garanis and Deputy Mayor of Public Works, Planning, Urban Development, and Spatial Planning, Dimitris Karastavrou. The conflict reached a climax when Karastavrou was dismissed from his duties via email by the mayor.
A Clear Message Against Internal Dissent
Sources indicate that Mayor Garanis’ decision to remove Karastavrou sends a strong message that he will not tolerate internal dissent or divisions within his administration. The once-close collaborators are now reportedly on hostile terms, with no communication between them, according to reports by the local newspaper "Chronos".
