The municipal party returns by communicating its proposals, setting out in a table with a comparison, in the first column, the draft regulation as formulated by the municipal authority, and in the second column, the draft with the changes notified to the Economic Committee. Read the press release.
Our Proposals for the Bazaar - Compare Articles of the Rules
Some seek to «muddy the waters» on the River Bazaar proposals. The ”Kythira Antikythera Stay Here” combination is clear and has submitted a COMPLETE regulation to the Finance Committee. With its proposal ensures the legality and the smooth operation of the bazaar in Potamos.
The Municipality of Kythera should support the legalization of the producers of all sectors of the bazaar instead of seeking to remove them with various pretexts.
The misinformation that supposedly «the minority does not want regulation», that supposedly it has as the only argument against the Bazaar's Operating Regulations the view «in 1960 they were selling everything», (and therefore the same now) is not our concern. Lies are used to avoid answering the real questions we raise.
Therefore, we have codified our proposals and the differences with the Mayor's proposal in certain points.
The other articles are identical.

In short, our differences are as follows:
1) Whatever is not provided for by the Regulation will be resolved by the City Council and not by the Finance Committee
2) The bazaar will be held within the settlement of Potamos and there will be no possibility to remove the bazaar from the settlement.
3) The sale of more products than the Mayor's proposal
- The number of 15 benches is suffocating based on the recorded needs.
- The Municipality of Kythera should undertake technical support for those who need help to meet the legality criteria.
We call on the Municipal Authority to adopt our proposals in line with the will of the majority of the Kytherian people.
