At the end of the day, the municipal authority responded to major and minor opposition by fully aligning itself with the line taken by the chairman of the Kythira and Antikythira Local Property Committee, Mr. Evangelos Venardos. It characterizes the committee's operation as autonomous and independent., essentially responds on her behalf, especially in Mr. Panagopoulos's camp. whom he indirectly but clearly accuses of ignorance of Article 16(2) of Presidential Decree 272/85. As for Mr. Kontoleon, responds to his comment following the dose of irony about the lyricist, saying: «for too much sorrow breeds madness.».
The municipal authority's press release follows.
Domestic Property operates autonomously and independently.
«Once again, the major minority party is deliberately attempting to mislead citizens and accusing the municipal authorities of issues concerning exclusively Domestic Property. We remind Mr. Panagopoulos of the obvious (which he should be aware of): Domestic Property is NOT subject to municipal control and acts autonomously and independently.. Mr. Panagopoulos should be aware of Article 16(2) of Presidential Decree 272/85, which stipulates that «The legal entity “Committee for Domestic Property of Kythira and Antikythira” is considered that he is acting on his own behalf and not as a representative and on behalf of the Municipality of Kythira, which has no responsibility to third parties for the actions of its organs.». Finally, we would like to remind the minority party that the Commission's decisions on leases are unanimous (as shown in Diafgeia) and have been approved by all members present, to whom the largest minority group has elected its own representative. For any further details and answers on this matter, the Domestic Property Committee is solely responsible, and under no circumstances the Municipal Authority..
Regarding Mr. Kontoleontos« announcement about a »joint spokesperson" for Domestic Property and the Municipality, we would like to inform him that The mayor, as he has proven many times, does not need a speechwriter.. After all, this is not the first time that Mr. Kontoleon has overstepped the mark by not weighing his public statements. In this case, he has brutally insulted the President of the Domestic Property Authority (elected with the support of the main opposition party), who has demonstrated his writing skills in public life and in the service where he worked for almost 35 years, gaining the experience of at least writing a press release! The only thing appropriate in Mr. Kontoleontos' case is this: «For excessive grief breeds madness.».
Finally, it is well known that for months now there has been a series of important government initiatives and programs to support and strengthen all businesses affected by the coronavirus (indicatively: refundable advance payment, non-refundable regional subsidy, suspension of debt and rent collection, job retention subsidy, etc.), which every professional can easily find through the relevant websites or their accountant.
