Political representatives in the Larissa region of Greece have conducted visits to rural villages in Elassona to address the challenges of depopulation and regional revitalization.

Christos Kellas, a Member of Parliament, discussed government measures intended to support agricultural and livestock activities. These measures include planned tax relief, such as the abolition of property tax (ENFIA) for certain primary residences starting in 2027, the removal of occupation taxes for self-employed professionals, and the return of agricultural fuel tax refunds.

In a separate visit to Domeniko, Christos Kapetanos engaged with local residents regarding the necessity of creating jobs and incentives to encourage young people and families to remain in rural areas.
