Achaia Chamber of Commerce shifts majority to Antoni Potamitis

A shift in power dynamics has occurred within the Board of Directors of the Achaia Chamber of Commerce. During a recent meeting, the faction led by Antoni Potamitis secured a narrow majority with 16 votes, surpassing the 15 votes held by the faction of the Chamber's President, Theodoros Louloudis.

The change in control was solidified during the vote to amend the statutes of AXEPAN, the Chamber's development company. Previously, the President held the exclusive authority to appoint the company's manager; under the new amendment, this responsibility is transferred to the Board of Directors, requiring collective decision-making.

President Louloudis has criticized the move, alleging “power games” and questioning the integrity of the voting process. He indicated that his faction intends to seek judicial recourse to challenge the decision, asserting that institutional roles should not be used as bargaining chips.
