The gathering of citizens, organizations and associations began shortly after 11 am, for the great mobilization of the Municipality, with the central slogan: “A city on foot”. The goal, the satisfaction of its needs, the needs of the patriarchal people.

The trigger for a series of mobilizations has been given two weeks ago, when the general secretary of the KKE, Dimitris Koutsoubas, was in Patras, where he had addressed a call for a “general uprising”. Of course, he was referring to issues of the central political scene, such as punctuality, agricultural issues, Education and Health, but the message was received by the municipal authority, which, by decision of the municipal council, put its militant plan into practice.

All the members of the council a few days ago recognized the need to claim funding and personnel, although objections were expressed by the Svolis, Aivali and Psoma factions (the latter did not vote in favor of the issue in the Board) regarding the manner of the mobilizations, but also for the if these actions bear fruit.

Among others, Vassilis Aivalis, head of the “Patra Great Again” faction, was present at the mobilization, who expressed his support for the claims of the municipal authority.

Among the first clubs and organizations to arrive at the venue were the Club Competition Committee, the Cultural Association of Zavlani, the Pan-Asian Association of Patras, the Dance Department of the Municipality of Patras.
