Patras municipal dispute erupts over school management

The political faction Spirali has issued a sharp response to the municipal administration of Patras following a dispute during a municipal council meeting. The conflict arose after the administration introduced a discussion regarding the merger of school sections and units, a move Spirali claims is outside the jurisdiction of local government.

Spirali criticized the municipal authority for selectively republishing excerpts of their previous statements. The faction emphasized that the primary responsibility of a municipality regarding schools is the maintenance and condition of school buildings. They challenged the administration to be judged on their performance in this area as the new school year approaches.

Furthermore, Spirali contested the administration's claim that they are focused on the needs of the city's children, citing concerns over the presence of political figures and ideological influence during school celebrations.
