However, the multiple role of a mother, in our time has acquired other dimensions, such as the refugee mother and that is where this year the municipality of Agios Dimitrios. Mayor and mother at the same time Mrs. Maria Androutsou says initially to – : «The symbolism of this day is multiple, this institution has great value “. And then he emphasizes: “Especially this year as a municipality we feel the need to dedicate this day to Ukrainian mothers. Either they were in different countries and rushed back to their homeland, which is being tested. Either they are there and they are struggling to protect their homes and their families. Or they were forced to leave refugees with their children and now carry all this refugee burden and anxiety. We consider as a municipality that it is worth dedicating this day, which comes and is reflected in the anguish of these women and in what they are experiencing.

After all, how difficult is the mother and the mayor? … «It’s hard“, Answers Mrs. Androutsou and adds:”Of course, now my own children have grown up, but I understand younger women, I see the difficulties and anguish of mothers, who are municipal councilors and have the daily concern».
