The political faction ‘New Peloponnese’, led by Petros Tatoulis, has criticized the Greek government and the Regional Authority of Peloponnese over the condition of Kalamata Airport. The group alleges that travelers are experiencing a lack of basic services, such as food and water, during the peak tourist season.

Tatoulis accused Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Regional Governor Dimitris Ptsochos of ‘political inadequacy, indifference, and communicative fraud.’ The faction claims that despite the Regional Authority managing 1 billion euros in development funds, the airport's infrastructure failures contradict claims of regional progress. Additionally, the group has raised concerns regarding a lack of transparency in public spending on studies and communication campaigns.
