«No more terrorism and division» - Harsh response of «Free Kythera» to Harhalakis

The political confrontation in Kythera hit «red» after the harsh response of «Free Kythera» to the current allegations of the Mayor. The faction accuses the municipal authority of dangerous tactics of division between North and South, stressing that polarization is the last refuge of an administration that is unable to provide solutions to everyday life. Against the backdrop of the abandonment from Kapsali to Karavas, the opposition makes it clear that the island is united and is not intimidated by judicial threats that betray insecurity.

The focus of criticism was on the «gold-plated» networks and the image of schools with rusty containers, despite large budgets. Free Kythera is committed to a complete reversal of the current model, demanding that the money of the place be returned to its people with a physical presence and scientific staff from the island. Transparency is now described as a non-negotiable obligation, with the party declaring itself ready to scrutinise any express process that mortgages the future of the place.

Reply to the Mayor of Kythera: THE SAME AND THE SAME

When the mayor of Kythera fails to answer the essentials, he resorts to the familiar tactics:

First the language of division

Mayor, we understand that you are in a tight spot, but the tactic of polarization does not «work» in our small place, where we all know everyone. Stop trying to divide the island. Stop cultivating the «us and them». Only sympathetic and mentally ill people can fall into this trap.

Discord is not a sign of a healthy society, but of weakness. Weakness leads to withering and withering brings desolation.

For us - as for all sane people - there is no North and South. There is only Kythera. A single island, which today is suffering from abandonment, desolation and the flight of its people. No one will see the problems and classify them geographically. The problems are common - and require common solutions.
We are all equally saddened by the abandonment of Kapsali, the Diakofti of Agia Pelagia. Paleochora, Kato Chora, the Castle of Chora. The road construction in Kalamos, in Fratsias, in Karavas.

Is polarization your last weapon? Maybe try to solve a problem?;

Then, the «evidence».

You dare, mayor of containers in schools, extensions and fines (with citizens' money) for unpaid contractors, to even ... hint at how public works are performed?;

Pointless, dysfunctional, big-budget projects are approved by express procedures - and anyone who understood understood understood.

You built so many meters of pipelines to transport the sewage to the «biological plant of 7000 inhabitants», can't you put a bus to transport the tourists from the port?;

You have not managed to «mature» with your gold-paid Network even a 30 square meter classroom in the schools instead of the rusty prefabricated ones.

And since you are burning for the future of the Islands Network, find out how, once we take over the administration, the network will be obliged (within the limits of the resources available to it by the Municipality) to employ scientific staff from Kythera and maintain offices with a physical presence on the island.

If it does not wish to operate within this framework of responsiveness and local support, then it will look elsewhere for partnerships and funding. Suckers like your administration abound.

The money of the place must be returned to the place.

No more court threats.

Too many exclamation points and judicial intimidation betray insecurity. Our party will continue to speak with facts, test with arguments and assert for the whole island. Anyone who chooses public life must be able to withstand public criticism. Transparency is not a threat - it is an obligation.
