The political group "South Pelion –Municipality
of Rollovers and Social Solidarity" led by Katerina Tserkezi issued the
following announcement:
We thank all citizens of South Pelion who trusted us
and voted for us, that in our meetings ,during all those months of the election period ,
envisioned with us the progress and outlook that South Pelion could have, who
supported and enriched our program with their own suggestions.
We asked (and ask) not only for a change but an
overthrow of the current “old-fashioned” establishment and its expression at the
Local Government. We failed to convince people to take a step back at their
fears about the new, which we represent, and give some space to the hope of a
better future for themselves and their place.
However, they gave us the opportunity to have a say in
the City Council which is encouraging and makes us responsible towards them.
All those months visiting our communities of South Pelion, we met people with
whom we shook hands and exchanged our point of views.
We promise that we will be back soon and will have
more conversations because our communication with people is what's most
important.
Therefore, we proceed with our struggle and we shall
be supporting everything good and constructive proposed to the City Council for
the region, while criticizing everything unorthodox and outdated. Without
hesitation, however, we will conflict with the policies that Troika and the IMF
dictate for the Local Government.
Finally, we say that as a group we will not support
any of the two candidates of South Pelion next Sunday. Our vision for the
place, as said in our program, is a far
cry from their programs , which run under the memoranda and express a
government policy of extermination of the
local government, an institution that defines strongly our democratic
system.
