Independent municipal council member Maria Apostolaki has criticized the conduct of the Rafina-Pikermi Municipal Council. Following a session regarding entry and exit permits for a waste disposal company, Apostolaki declined to vote, stating the proposal lacked sufficient information regarding its legality. 

Apostolaki noted that council members were forced to vote without necessary legal guidance because the Mayor indicated she could not compel the municipality’s legal advisor to attend sessions. She further described the atmosphere of the meetings as a ‘ring of vulgar clashes and irony.’
