Mayors of Tyrnavos and Haidari meet to discuss municipal challenges

The Mayors of Tyrnavos, Stelios Tsikritis, and Haidari, Michalis Selekos, met in Tyrnavos to discuss the challenges facing local government and the needs of citizens. Both leaders, representing the ‘People’s Rally’, addressed how the current institutional and economic framework limits the capabilities of municipalities.

Key topics of discussion included the chronic underfunding and understaffing of local authorities, as well as the implications of the new Local Government Code. The mayors expressed concerns regarding the potential privatization of municipal services and the shift toward treating essential social goods, such as water and energy, as areas for commercial profit rather than public service.
