The results of the evaluation of citizens in the local government’s section ring a “bell” for most municipal authorities, While there are few mayors who will be able to look at their citizens in the eyes.

From the findings of the first in the history of the Public Psychology Administration, recently presented by Maximos, Interior Minister Thodoris Livanios, in the presence of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Citizens’ failure to satisfy the infrastructure and services of the municipalities related to their daily lives.

In the overall score, 17 services were evaluated below the base, while satisfaction was expressed only for the KEPs, the “Home Aid” program and the KAPI/Friendship Clubs.

The most problematic elements are found on the state of the sidewalks (and therefore in the infrastructure for people with disabilities) and roads (the problem is attributed to gas projects, sewage and fiber visuals), in parking spaces in large urban centers, building services and stray management. Compared to the average of the other services, the rating of cleanliness and electricity is relatively better.

The Central Union of Municipalities of Greece (KEDE), commenting on the findings of online research, notes that the response of 65,000 citizens is useful, but this procedure is not offered to draw objective conclusions, as no basic principles of scientific research have been adhered to, such as weighted sampling.

The collective body of the mayors reiterates its request for a reform in the state -government relationship and assures that “when a clear institutional framework is established, without overlapping responsibilities and responsibilities, when secured by the required financial resources when it is entitled to Institutional character, then the picture will change immediately. “

However, residents of three neighboring municipalities in the southern suburbs, in particular Glyfada, Alimos and Elliniko – Argyroupolis, already have a positive image, with which the Municipalities of Kalamata, Kastoria and Kastoria and Kastoria and Kastoria and Municipalities are equivalent to third place. These are the only ones of the 184 municipalities with a sufficient sample of answers, which crossed the base.

“It’s a great honor and even greater responsibility to continue. We make an effort and this assessment binds us to continue to do more because we know that we have weaknesses and interventions even greater we have to do. “stresses in the Athens -Macedonian News Agency Glyfada Mayor George Papanikolaou.

With their answers 863 residents of Glyfada gave their city generally 5.4 with excellent 10 and in the individual areas the best evaluation nationwide in digital services, road network, social services, KAPI, green areas, playgrounds and stray management. The second best evaluation gave the electricity, kindergartens and municipal clinics.

The best evaluation in Cleanliness was received by the Municipality of Kastoria, in the electricity of Alimos, in home help, schools, kindergartens and KEPs in Argos Orestiko (but only 58 residents responded), in the parking lots and the municipal clinics (51) Participants), in the Municipal Transport the Municipality of Elliniko – Argyroupolis, on the sidewalks of Kalamata, in the infrastructure for the disabled by Komotini and the Municipal Police the Municipality of Ierapetra.

Underneath the base are the 10 largest municipalities in the country with Peristeri and Larissa being “rescued” with a general grade of 4.7. The services of the Municipality of Athens received averaging 4,962 residents of 3.4, Thessaloniki 3.6, Patras 3.3, Heraklion Crete 2.5, ranking it in the penultimate position of Piraeus 3.8, Volos with 4.4, Rhodes with 2.8 and 3.8.

Why are citizens so strictly dealing with the services that the institution is closest to them? Konstantinos Allagiannis, mayor of Markopoulos, who with 2.8 received the lowest evaluation between the Municipalities of Attica, told RES-EIA that the memorandums left a profound footprint in the local government, which was found to manage very big problems and less staff. “Unfortunately,” he added, “we are obliged to spend much of our time on the claims of resources and opportunities by the central administration, when they are all over Europe. We continue the effort, on the one hand, to use our own possibility and on the other, to fight with the central administration for the rights of our citizens. “
